Incredible food in a fun atmosphere - This was such a fun experience. The food we made was incredible, the staff that ran the experience were so nice and helpful, and trying all the different spices and dried herbs and fruit was a highlight. We absolutely loved doing this during our time in Bodrum. We came off a cruise ship for this and they picked us up and dropped us off at the port.

I’d go again just for the Seabeans - This was a TREMENDOUS experience and a wonderful way to spend our day in Bodrum. The pickup from the port was seamless and the vehicle was great (air conditioning!!) The market was bustling and interesting. For sure you need to know your exchange rates before going because they will chance it to get more money out of you, but they will accept foreign currencies. Asli was wonderful and welcoming and a great guide through the market and then through our lunch prep. The food was DELICIOUS as was the wine. Thank you Asli for a phenomenal day!

One of a kind, authentic Turkish experience - Wonderful! The Farmer’s Market in Güvercinlik was a fantastic experience. Then the cooking class, subsequent food, and wines were excellent. Ms. Belgin was an outstanding guide — friendly, kind, and informative. The setting for the class and lunch was beautiful. Highly recommend!

One Day in Bodrum- spend it here - This was one of the highlights of our trip. From the minute we met up with our group (only 7 of us), it was apparent we were in for a culinary delight. The market was mind blowing with abundance. Our chef took us all around introducing us to unique offering from her country. She introduced us to all her friends at various booth. We sampled everything from raw artichoke hearts in lemon and olive oil to rolled up eggplant philo wraps, every variety of olives, spices, dried fruits, you name it. We could have happily stayed there and made a feast off just the offerings of the market. But off we went up the mountain to a MUCH COOLER temp and gorgeous views at the cooking school. Sous chefs in our glory. Chef told wonderful stories of recipes passed down through generations, simple prep tips, spices to add a twist. So many tips and tricks. She had two assistance with her, so this was never an arduous choir. It was a very relaxing experience. We enjoyed our lunch with an amazing local rose’ and finished with the most simplistic dessert that left us all mind blown and craving more. We wrapped it up with traditional Turkish tea while our driver sampled our leftovers. They dropped us off at our requested spot near the castle. If you only have one day in Bodrum, this is an excellent way to immerse yourself in the culture and tradition of this beautiful country. Highly recommended!

Unmissable - unique and magical - Fabulous! Inforgettable. This was a last minute adventure, the very day we were to fly back to England. Amazingly Asli managed to set up a private course, market visit and superb cooking lesson with a wonderful teacher in her own beautiful home on a hill overlooking the bay and marina. We learned and experienced so much. The market - sights, tastes, sounds - the countryside, the lavender field, Arabian jasmine, how to prep samphire, a pinch of sugar with the onion, wrap lemons in paper and they keep well w/o chemicals in a cool place, purslane, grated tomato(!), and so much more. Truly the high spot of a wonderful visit to this wonderful country. Thank you 🙏🏻

Nice afternoon in Milas - It's a real stretch to title this as a Cooking Class. It is a nice afternoon helping to prepare a few tapas and enjoy delicious wines at a home located near Milas (an hour ride from the cruise port of Bodrum). Our host for the afternoon and her husband were delightful; she shared her tips on how to stuff grape leaves (the filling was already prepared), stuffed Phylo (the filling was already prepared), and a couple of salads. No recipe sheets were provided. From a food safety perspective, please change the order of preparing items so that handling raw meat is the last item (vs using the same boards for the raw meat and later, raw vegetable salad).
