• CAFER ÇAVUŞ BİTKİSEL ÜRÜNLER - Experience the charm of rustic Turkish cooking in a serene mountain village above Fethiye. In a spacious garden encircled by olive trees, participants will cook over an open wood fire, just as the Yörüks — the nomadic people of this area — have done for generations. The host, representing the local brand Cafer Çavuş, will lead the preparation of traditional dishes such as kuru fasulye with rice, eggplant kebab, gözleme, homemade bread, and seasonal wild herbs collected from the hills.

Participants will cook together in the fresh air and dine under the trees, with goats grazing nearby and the aroma of firewood in the air. As the host explains: “To truly understand Turkish cuisine, one must first connect with the land it originates from. That’s why we cook in this manner.”

This experience is more than just a meal — it’s an immersive journey into Yörük cooking, outdoor living, and a lifestyle that remains vibrant in Türkiye’s countryside.

• Meals

• Kuru Fasülye - Hearty white bean stew slow-cooked with tomatoes, onions, and spices — a Turkish comfort classic.
• Turkish Pilaf
• Cooked Mountain Herbs

This experience unfolds in the same charming village and garden as the cherished Cafer Çavuş soap-making workshop. Here, the bond with the land is paramount. Participants are not merely learning recipes; they are cooking alongside locals who continue to collect herbs from the mountains, bake bread in traditional stone ovens, and share stories around the fire. Visitors frequently mention that they arrive for the cuisine but depart with a feeling of community.
