Itinerary

Experience the original way of cooking the most popular Turkish street food, Çiğköfte. Come, join us for a Çiğköfte session where you will learn how to cook çiğköfte in Istanbul, the most original way you can think of. It is a southeastern dish and it has its own vibe when cooked and eaten. Especially, if you are doing it the original way, at home and with good friends.


Although we aim to teach you how to cook Çiğköfte, the greater thing we aim is to teach you the concept, the tradition and culture of Çiğköfte. You will be welcomed at our home, just like you would visit your friends at your home city. After some chitchats and warm ups to actually feel at home, we will sit together and start kneading Çiğköfte. There is various jokes and ways of testing the taste and the intensity of Çiğköfte. Of course, we will keep them to tell during our time together :).


When you leave this experience, you will go to your home country with more than learning just a dish. You will have learned a concept of how just a dish can gather people in a special way. What you will value most, we hope, will be the bonds that you created with us, at our home.
