Learn to make Turkish Cuisine in a private online class!

A warm and inviting host, Selda loves to entertain and get to know new people. Selda's father was an excellent cook. Originally from the Black Sea region of Turkey, he fed the family plenty of fish and only the freshest vegetables. Selda remembers him cooking chestnuts on a wood stove in the family home, and omelets that were so beautifully presented that they could have been mistaken for works for art. He believed cooking was a form of personal expression. Selda inherited her father's love of the kitchen - and then some. Selda prides herself on her healthy take on traditional Turkish recipes cooked with seasonal ingredients. She also likes trying out non-traditional ingredients like quinoa. She has been experimenting with healthy cooking for several years and opened a food studio where she entertains friends and holds workshops. Don't expect common kebabs and other heavy meat dishes at Selda's - she showcases the real foods that Turks eat on a daily basis, with a healthy twist. Enjoy learning to cook Selda's savory karnıyarık (eggplant stuffed with minced meat and vegetables) and börek, Turkish phyllo pastry filled with a seasonal vegetable like spring peas or chard (a recipe passed down from her husband's mother)
