Konya sits on the wide Anatolian plateau and has fed travellers, scholars and pilgrims for centuries, so its kitchen is generous, hearty and full of character. Its recipes have inspired much of what is cooked across Turkey today, which makes it an ideal place to learn the basics of Anatolian home cooking. During this Konya day trip you will work beside the chef step by step, while your guide translates and explains the story behind each ingredient, spice and serving custom. The menu covers local main dishes as well as salads and desserts, giving you a well-rounded picture of a traditional Konya table.

Once the cooking is done, you sit down together at the restaurant to enjoy the lunch you prepared. In the afternoon the group heads to the city centre, where you have free time to shop and stroll at your own pace before being driven back to your hotel. The class suits all ages and requires no previous kitchen experience, making it an easy and enjoyable daily tour from Konya for food lovers, families and anyone curious about Anatolian culture. Transport is in an air-conditioned, non-smoking vehicle, and the entrance fees mentioned in the programme are covered.
