An awesome experience to live in Istanbul! - We had an absolutely amazing experience during this cooking class with Ozge and Sercan. As soon as we arrived, they welcomed us with great kindness and knew how to put us at ease immediately. Beyond the kitchen, this moment was rich in exciting cultural exchanges, in a friendly and authentic atmosphere. The prepared dishes were simply delicious, and for some we had never discovered them before in Turkey. It was a real moment of sharing, human and greedy, that we are not about to forget. A huge thank you between them for this unforgettable experience!
