A Taste of Türkiye @ Oxford Steet

Step into the vibrant streets of Istanbul with this hands-on cooking class, where you’ll learn to recreate the aromatic flavors and traditional techniques of Turkish cuisine. Over the two-hour session, you’ll mix, shape, and fry lamb or plant-based köftes to perfection, while sharpening your knife skills by preparing a crisp cucumber and tomato salad. You’ll also master a garlicky tahini sauce, learn to make zingy quick-pickled onions, and gain confidence using spices such as pul biber, sumac, and rich pomegranate molasses. The class teaches you how to balance smoky, sweet, and sour flavors, all while working hands-on at your own cooking station with guidance from an expert chef. All ingredients, equipment, and aprons are provided, and a digital recipe pack is included so you can recreate the dishes at home.

After cooking, take a seat at the chef’s table to enjoy your Turkish-inspired feast, featuring juicy, smoky lamb or plant-based köftes, fresh cucumber and tomato salad, sumac pickled onions, and creamy tahini sauce, along with warm bread to mop up all the flavors. A complimentary glass of bubbles or a soft drink is included, with water provided throughout and additional drinks available for purchase. The class is designed for active participation only, with solo participants potentially paired with another guest, and the duration includes both teaching demonstrations and time to savor your meal. This immersive experience provides an educational, delicious, and hands-on journey into the heart of Turkish street food.
