Ms Eveline Zoutendijk of Istanbul offers
easy, enjoyable, very informative
and fun half-day Turkish
cooking classes to foreign
visitors at her restaurant on Akbiyik
Caddesi in the heart of Sultanahmet's
hotel district.
Class participants meet at 10:30
am at the Cooking Alaturka
Restaurant at Akbiyik
Caddesi No. 72a,
just off Mimar Mehmet Aga Caddesi (map),
just
off the Hippodrome behind
the Blue
Mosque, for
coffee and a general introduction to Turkish
cuisine.
By 11:00 am you're in the
special culinary-course mutfak (kitchen).
You're ready to help Feyzi
Usta, the
master chef, prepare the midday meal
using the best seasonal market ingredients.
Step-by-step instructions, and many
willing hands, produce a delicious
and varied collection of dishes.
As soon as all is ready, you sit
down to luncheon and enjoy
your handiwork, with genial comments
and comparisons all around. Afiyet olsun! (Enjoy
your meal!)
By 14:30 (2:30 pm), luncheon is usually
over, the last questions asked and
answered, the final pointers and recommendations
conveyed, and you're on your way to
further explorations of Istanbul.
If you'd like to come back for dinner,
it's served most evenings except Sunday.

Turkish cuisine is
no longer an exotic mystery, but an
open door for further discovery.

fee (60 euros per person,
which includes the complete lunch,
with drinks).
