What you can expect

PREPARE THE FLAVORS SPREADING ACROSS THE TABLE

The meze table is a sharing ritual in Turkish culture. Each flavour in those small plates becomes part of a conversation, a friendship, a memory. In Galata, just steps from historic restaurants, now your hands are preparing the meze for that table.

Learn the techniques behind Turkey's beloved starter tradition. Achieve perfect yoghurt consistency, master spice balances, nail pomegranate molasses-olive oil ratios. From chopping fresh vegetables to creating elegant garnishes, discover the fundamentals of Turkish cuisine.

WHAT'S THE VIBE?
✨ Meeting ingredients – Fresh vegetables, spices, olive oil, pomegranate molasses… Everything before you, you'll process them all with expert guidance.
✨ Learning technique – Chopping, mixing, sauce making, achieving consistency—fundamental rules of Turkish cuisine you'll master.
✨ Tasting pleasure – At the end, you taste all the meze you prepared together with traditional Turkish hospitality and cultural sharing.
✨ Social experience – In Istanbul's most artistic area, recipes change hands with guests from different countries in our spacious atelier.
✨ Recipes ready to take – You can remake every recipe you learned at home with written recipe cards for hosting guests.

If you want meze mastery—both classic flavours and modern variations—this workshop transforms small plates into cultural connection.

Between Galataport and Galata Tower, close to historic restaurants—where sharing meets tradition.
