A Taste of Türkiye @ Oxford Street

Turkish Street Food Masterclass Brings the Flavours of Istanbul to the Kitchen

Discover the vibrant tastes of Turkey in a hands-on cooking class inspired by the lively streets of Istanbul. Guided by an expert chef, participants will learn traditional techniques while preparing authentic Turkish dishes, gaining the confidence to recreate bold Mediterranean flavours at home.

During the session, guests will prepare juicy lamb or plant-based köftes, learning how to mix, shape, and cook them to perfection. They will also sharpen their knife skills by creating a fresh cucumber and tomato salad, while mastering a creamy tahini sauce and quick-pickled onions flavoured with sumac, pul biber, and pomegranate molasses.

The class focuses on balancing smoky, sweet, sour, and savoury flavours through easy-to-follow demonstrations and practical cooking. Working in pairs at their own stations, participants will develop essential culinary techniques using authentic ingredients and traditional Turkish seasonings.

After completing their dishes, guests can gather at the chef’s table to enjoy a delicious Turkish-inspired feast featuring freshly cooked köftes, warm bread, crisp salad, tangy pickled onions, and rich tahini sauce. With all ingredients, equipment, aprons, a digital recipe pack, and a complimentary welcome drink included, this immersive masterclass offers a memorable introduction to the flavours and traditions of Turkish street food.
