点评:A Hidden Gem in Istanbul: Cookistan Cooking School
The Cookistan cooking experience begins with a delightful exploration of the Omasbey neighborhood, led by our knowledgeable guide Ozge. This immersive market tour offers a fascinating glimpse into local life as you discover where Istanbul residents source their ingredients and learn about their daily food customs.
The cooking class itself is a hands-on journey through Turkish cuisine, where participants prepare an impressive six-course feast. The menu showcases both classic and lesser-known Turkish dishes: tender Celeriac in Olive Oil, aromatic Bulgur salad, delicate Borecik, spicy Muhammara, traditional stuffed dried eggplants, expertly rolled Dolma (stuffed vine leaves), and a sweet finale of pumpkin dessert.
What makes Cookistan special is how seamlessly it blends culinary education with cultural immersion. The intimate class setting allows for personal attention and plenty of hands-on practice with traditional cooking techniques. After the preparation comes the reward - sharing the freshly prepared feast with fellow food enthusiasts, accompanied by wine that, while perhaps not exceptional, certainly enhanced the convivial atmosphere with each pour.
For traveler's seeking an authentic Istanbul experience beyond the typical tourist trail, Cookistan offers the perfect blend of cultural education and culinary adventure. This cooking school stands out for its thoughtful integration of neighborhood exploration, market visits, and hands-on cooking instruction, making it an enriching way to discover Turkish cuisine and culture in a local context.
