Join Azra Kaurin for a flavorful journey into Turkish home cooking. Start with Ezme, a fresh tomato and herb appetizer served with warm Pide bread for scooping. Learn the art of Manti—tiny, hand-crafted dumplings filled with savory meat and finished with garlicky yogurt, spiced tomato-pepper butter, and mint. A crisp Çoban (Shepherd’s) Salad brings balance and tradition to the table. End with Sekerpare, a syrup-soaked semolina pastry topped with pistachios or almonds, alongside a demonstration of authentic Turkish Coffee. A class rooted in tradition, patience, and hospitality.
