COOK'S LUNCH
“Food is geography and the geography you live in designs your eating habits”
The Teaching Kitchen: Cook’s Lunch
This half-day program provides an overview of seasonal cooking and local specialties from the Northern Aegean. Eating with the seasons is the best way to really appreciate nature’s bounty, while supporting local farmers, foragers, and food artisans. Here on the Northern Aegean coast of Turkey, typical dishes often include ingredients like wild foraged herbs and greens, extra virgin olive oil, fresh cheeses, and thick tangy yogurt. Vegetables, grains, and fermented pantry items are highlighted with the addition of fresh seafood, meat, or legumes.
In the teaching kitchen at Cooks Grove, guests will join Chef Şemsa Denizsel in the teaching kitchen at Cooks Grove to begin cooking. They will move to the terrace or fireside depending on the season, to enjoy the lunch created together. For those who are interested in visiting the olive grove and learning about traditional cuisine, a morning in the kitchen is the perfect way to enjoy it!
