Join a cozy home cooking class in Altınkum, Konyaaltı, and learn to make traditional Turkish baklava from scratch with a local chef. Your host, Fatma, welcomes you first with Turkish tea and a heartfelt introduction to baklava’s cultural roots. Then, you’ll get hands-on: preparing ingredients, kneading dough, and rolling out at least 40 delicate layers.

From the clarified butter to the golden syrup, every step is covered — just like it’s been done for generations. After the baking, you’ll sit down with Fatma to enjoy your creations over more tea or Turkish coffee and warm conversation.

Fatma shares, “My grandmother taught me that food is love — and baklava, especially, is meant to be shared.” This isn’t a demo. It’s a shared ritual rooted in Turkish tradition and real connection.
