Hami is a professional licensed tour guide in Cappadocia. Thanks to his job, Hami and his wife have had the pleasure to host travelers in their home, sharing recipes from the black sea region as well as Cappadocia. He learned to cook from his mother and wife, and is very excited to share his family recipes with those who would like to learn more about Turkish culinary traditions. Hami will first take you to the local Turkish market and then to his home where he will teach you how to cook authentic Turkish food.

In your 1-hour market tour, walk around the marketplace with Hami to learn about local fruits and vegetables, and how it is used in Turkish cuisine. You may also buy a few fresh ingredients, before driving to Hami’s home for your cooking and meal experience. In your 1.5-hour hands-on cooking class, join Hami and his wife in their kitchen to cook some of their favorite dishes. You will cook three dishes from scratch, while learning more about Turkish culture and culinary traditions. You will help Hami make a soup or salad and main dish, that you will later share together at the dining table.
Your host Hami will pick you up from the front desk of your Cappadocia hotel, and drop you back after the experience is over.
