Culinary Journey Through Istanbul and Private Cinema Date
Prepare a delicious Turkish feast together and enjoy a private cinema experience, perfect for couples looking to explore the gastronomic heritage and cinematic culture of Istanbul.
- Both of you will start the day by visiting Istanbul's local markets to source fresh ingredients for your cooking class. You will be guided by a local chef who will take you on a culinary trip through Istanbul's rich and savory culture. Learn how to prepare traditional dishes such as 'Dolma', 'Baklava' or 'İşkembe Çorbası'. Creating a meal together can be a bonding experience, full of laughter, fun, and of course, tasty results.
- After your flavorful adventure, take a leisurely stroll back to your accommodation. Take this time to enjoy the beautiful autumn scenery, engage in heartwarming conversations and reminisce about your shared experiences throughout the day.
- Once you return home, it's time to set the stage for your private cinema. Prepare the comfortable space with fluffy pillows, warm blankets, and dimmed lights to set a cozy and romantic atmosphere. After setting everything up, choose a classic Turkish film, cuddle in blanket, and enjoy your exclusive cinema night, achieving a perfect balance of adventure and intimate simplicity with your loved one.
Preparation steps:
- Before your date, get in touch with a local cooking school in Istanbul to arrange a private cooking class. This will give you the chance to learn authentic Turkish recipes. You would also need to check their available time slots and discuss your dietary preferences, if there are any.
- Clean your living room or the area where you wish to set up your private cinema beforehand. Make sure you have a working laptop or projector, along with a suitable area to project or place your screen. You would need membership to a movie platform where you can access Turkish movies or you can rent or buy one in advance.
- For this date, remember to wear comfortable clothes as you will be spending the first half of the day in the kitchen and the market, after which you'll cozy up for a quiet night in. Given that you'll also have a romantic movie night afterwards, make sure you set the mood with some dimmed lights, cozy blankets and perhaps even some lit candles for the perfect ambiance.
