An experience we will not soon forget.
Nuran welcomed us into her home as if we were family, and we sure felt that way after we left. This was not just about the cooking, which was a big part of it. It was also about the experience of breaking bread with new friends in a new country, sharing life experiences and enjoying each other’s company.
We requested and received transport to her home, and as it turned out, the driver is her nephew. A good kid named Faith, who joined us for our meal. Nuran’s husband also ate with us on his work lunch break, and her son’s girlfriend stopped in, too. It felt like we were in a TV show, where everyone pops in to eat! We loved it!
When we arrived, we were invited to enjoy a lemonade drink and a pastry before we started cooking. Then it was into the kitchen we went!
Nuran (with our help!) prepared a special meal for me, as a vegetarian, and also meat for my husband and the others who popped in. There was so much food!!! Good thing the family helped us eat it all.
It was a special experience and a cultural connection we are grateful to have had.

What an amazing experience!! Nuran and her family are absolutely lovely people. They treated me like I was part of the family and is something special. We talked, laughed, made delicious dinner and then all sat down and ate together. This is an experience I will cherish and never forget! Don’t believe book this experience and try it yourself

Me and my partner had a fantastic evening at this cooking class! The host, Nuran, was so welcoming and friendly and taught us how to cook the most delicious food! On top of that, we met her incredibly warm and friendly family and shared stories about our lives over the many courses of food we cooked. I would 100% recommend this class to anyone and would book through lokalbond in the future. Thank you 🇹🇷❤️🇹🇷❤️🇹🇷

Two grandparents and a 13 year old grandson had a wonderful time learning to cook a Turkish breakfast in Nuran‘s home. She was so friendly and made sure our grandson was engaged in all the activities! He LOVED it….as did his grandparents! A great way to ‘see into’ traditional Turkish life after 2 day of visiting Grand Mosques and Palaces!

Nuran was such a lovely host and we found the class fun and insightful! It was such a unique and wonderful experience to share the moreish food that we made with her family who were very friendly! Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something unique to do whilst in Istanbul.

This was the highlight of our trip to Istanbul. What a charming family, heavenly food and lively atmosphere trading cultural stories. Absolutely loved this and would highly recommend to anyone wanting a different angle on their holiday itinerary. Thank you Nura and your family for opening up your home and welcoming us like so warmly :)

This was so much fun, and the best thing I did in Istanbul. Nora and her family were so kind and accommodating, and spending time with them was an absolute pleasure! -Caroline, United States
