IN THE KITCHEN WITH SELİN
We say "Make yourselves at home" and we mean it! Today Turkey's culinary legacy is a tapestry of tastes and pleasure, seasoned with Ottoman indulgence and refreshed by Anatolian inspiration. Learn the secrets of a cuisine relished within all corners of Turkey but rarely experienced by outsiders. Join Selin in her kitchen where she will teach you how to make a traditional

home-cooked Turkish meal. For lunch, you will savor 6-7 dishes you have cooked accompanied with boutique Turkish wines. Recipes vary according to the season, utilizing only the freshest ingredients available and providing you with a deeply individual Turkish experience. As a member of Slow Food, Selin's focus is on healthy locally sourced, fresh, artisan, and sustainable food.

Fresh from the Aegean to your plate. 🦑🐙

Perfectly grilled octopus, crispy calamari, and the simple flavours that make Turkish coastal cuisine unforgettable.

Which would you choose first—🐙 octopus or 🦑 calamari?

Not every guest leaves us a review…

Some leave us a poem. ❤️

After spending the day exploring Istanbul’s vibrant Spice Bazaar, crossing the Bosphorus by ferry to the Asian side, cooking together in our home kitchen, and sharing a traditional Turkish meal, our guest Lynn Benjamin surprised us with something we will treasure forever—a poem inspired by her experience.

In all our years of welcoming guests from around the world, this is the first time someone has captured the spirit of a Turkish Flavours cooking class in poetry. We are deeply honoured and incredibly touched.

One verse, in particular, perfectly expresses what we hope every guest takes home with them:

“The conversation stirred our minds;
the meal cast a magic spell,
luring us back to Silk Road days
through touch and taste and smell.”

Food has a remarkable way of bringing people together. It tells stories, preserves traditions, creates friendships, and leaves us with memories that last long after the last bite.

Thank you, Lynn, for giving us such a beautiful gift. Your words remind us why we love sharing the rich culinary heritage of Turkey every single day.

If you’d like to read Lynn’s full poem, we’ve shared it on our website. The link is in our bio.

❤️ With gratitude,
The Turkish Flavours Team

A day filled with spices, stories, cooking, and unforgettable memories. 🇹🇷❤️Our journey began in Istanbul’s vibrant Spice Bazaar, where we explored the colors, aromas, and traditions that make Turkish cuisine so unique.

Then we welcomed this wonderful family from China into our home for a hands-on cooking class. Together we prepared authentic Turkish recipes, learned family cooking traditions, and gathered around the table to enjoy everything we had created.

Food has a special way of bringing people together, no matter where we come from.

Thank you for sharing your day with us—we hope to see you again in Istanbul!

🇨🇳❤️🇹🇷

We were honoured to host the members of Grow Foundation on their Savouring Turkey culinary journey through Turkey.

This very special group of caterers, food professionals, and passionate travellers brought so much joy, curiosity, laughter, and energy to every market visit, meal, kitchen, and dance floor.

One guest beautifully described the trip as:

“An outstanding masterpiece… The diversity in experiences, the food, the fabulous hotels, and the people all exceeded expectations.
For us at Turkish Flavours, this is exactly why we do what we do: sharing Turkey through food, culture, people, hospitality, and unforgettable local experiences.

Thank you to Grow Foundation, FP, Ingrid, Corinne, and all the wonderful guests who made this journey so memorable.

With love,
Selin, Selçuk and the Turkish Flavours team.
