Cookistan Istanbul Cooking Classes, Istanbul

Cookistan was hands down the highlight of my time in Istanbul and I’d recommend it to anyone - whether it’s your first or fiftieth time visiting Turkey, this is such a unique, fun, & intimate way to get to know the food and culture of the country. Aysin was such a joy - a great teacher & made me feel right at home in her gorgeous kitchen. I’m vegetarian and she made sure I had plenty of options that stayed true to traditional Turkish cuisine. Aside from the experience being so wonderful, everything we cooked was absolutely delicious (we made plenty, and I was able to take my leftovers too!). All in all, I can’t recommend this experience enough - make it part of your Istanbul itinerary!

This is by far the best cooking class in Istanbul! You not only cook but you get a mini tour of the neighborhood, a little history, and great cooking instructors. Very profesional and well organized. If you are in Istanbul you have to experience this!
