The Teaching Kitchen: Local Delicacies
This 3-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 Local Delicacies workshop gives an introduction to the flavors, specialty ingredients, and delicious dishes from the area. The program consists of hands-on cooking lessons, foraging, shopping in the local farmers’ market, day-trips and tastings with artisan food producers, as well as communal meals at Cooks Grove and in local restaurants.
