“Food is geography and the geography you live in designs your eating habits”
The Teaching Kitchen: 2 Day program
This 2-day workshop with Chef Şemsa Denizsel invites food lovers to explore the regional cuisine of Turkey’s Northern Aegean coast. In a land known for its olives and high-quality extra virgin olive oil, our workshop gives an introduction to the flavors, specialty ingredients, and delicious dishes from the area. The program consists of hands-on cooking lessons, shopping in the local bazaar and tastings of artisanal food produce, as well as communal meals at Cooks Grove and in local restaurants.
Most of our hands-on teaching kitchen workshops at Cooks Grove will be limited to small groups up to 12 guests. The program includes meals, all activities listed in the itinerary. Airfare and transfers to/from airport and accommodation are not included in any of our programs; however, if flights are organized arriving / departing from the Balıkesir Koca Seyit Airport (EDO) in Edremit, Turkey, transfers can be arranged at additional cost. Itineraries are subject to change based on weather conditions and scheduling adjustments.
