Step into a welcoming home in Ankara’s Dikmen neighborhood and discover how traditional, homemade Turkish baklava is prepared — not the store-bought kind, but made from scratch the way it’s been passed down in family kitchens for generations.

You’ll start with tea and snacks, then dive into each step: preparing the syrup, kneading and rolling dough, making the walnut filling, and layering everything just right before baking.

While the baklava bakes, you’ll also prepare a savory börek and a fresh meze like kısır or lentil balls. Finally, we’ll enjoy everything we made together over Turkish coffee and good conversation.

Come as a guest, leave as a friend!

This is a hands-on experience, and all ingredients are provided. Recipes will be sent to you afterward so you can recreate the magic at home.

Please note:
1. The baklava contains walnuts and is not suitable for guests with nut allergies.
2. The class lasts around 4 hours — because making baklava properly takes time, and we don’t rush good things.
