- Turan Cd. No:75 - Participate in a cooking class at Rojda’s home in Istanbul and discover how to create mantı — Turkish-style ravioli — completely from scratch. After a friendly welcome with tea, participants will engage in the dough-making process, mix the filling, and learn the traditional method of folding each dumpling. While the mantı cooks, attendees will prepare garlic yogurt, a butter sauce infused with paprika, and one or two seasonal side dishes such as a fresh salad or local meze. The experience concludes with everyone gathering around the table to savor the food and share stories.
Rojda shares: “In our family, making mantı is always a group effort. Every little fold carries a memory.” This experience is not just about learning a dish — it’s about embracing a tradition that connects people across generations.
