Overview

This experience is rooted in a real Aegean home, not a commercial kitchen. You’ll cook seasonal, lesser-known regional dishes that aren’t found in restaurants — with a host who learned them from her elders. From sipping tea on a balcony with pool views to roasting vegetables over wood fire, every moment feels like a family gathering. As your host says, “These aren’t just recipes — they’re memories.” It’s a chance to slow down, savor tradition, and connect with the heart of Aegean home life.

What To Expect

Join a relaxed and hands-on Aegean cooking workshop in a family home in Karaova, Kuşadası, where the day unfolds over local stories, garden views, and delicious regional dishes you won’t find in tourist restaurants. Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed with tea or coffee on a balcony overlooking the pool before heading into the kitchen to prepare two traditional recipes — chosen based on the season.

Dishes may include sautéed wild Aegean greens, yogurtlu paşa böreği, slow-cooked keşkek, tangy black-eyed peas with pomegranate, yuvalama soup, or rustic vegetables roasted over wood fire. You’ll cook together in a laid-back atmosphere, then enjoy the meal outdoors by the pool.

Your host shares: “These are the recipes I learned from my elders. Cooking them with guests keeps our traditions alive.” It’s a beautiful way to connect with Aegean flavors, hospitality, and home life.
