Authentic Home Cooking Class in Gaziantep with Local Family

3 hours (approximately)

Gaziantep is the culinary capital of Turkiye. As much as the restaurant food, the home-cooked recipes are contributing to this value, more than we think.

Experiencing the Antep home dish recipes through a home-hosted cooking experience led by a mother and her son is definetely what makes this experience special. You cook, eat in a real, eastern family kitchen. And yes, the hospitality in Turkiye increases as you go more east. The more you eat, the more you will be loved by the family :)

So, come and connect with the local culture and people.

What to expect

This is a classic home-cooked food experience in Gaziantep, hosted by a mother and her son in their own kitchen.

You will meet Şeyhmus and his mom and be welcomed like old friends. Then step into the rhythm of everyday Antep cooking, the food capital of Turkiye. Together, you will prepare a few traditional dishes while the mother explains how they’re made, where the recipes come from, and why they matter.

You will eat what you make, share stories, and enjoy the simple pleasure of being together.

You come as a guest, and you leave having felt the warmth of a real Antep home.
