Culinary Romance at a Historic Mansion
Experience a touch of history and culinary delight with a private cooking class at a 19th-century mansion in Istanbul.
- As you arrive at the grand entrance of the historic mansion, you're greeted by a professional chef, ready to lead you on a culinary adventure. The mansionโs dining room is set with antique furnishings and large windows that provide a view of lush gardens, enhancing the romantic ambiance.
- Together with your partner, you begin preparing a selection of traditional Turkish dishes under the guidance of the chef. Laugh and share stories as you mix ingredients, and perhaps playfully toss a sprinkle of flour each otherโs way, bonding over the shared task.
- After cooking, you sit down to enjoy your homemade meal. The table is elegantly set with fine china and crystal glasses, reflecting the candlelight. Soft music plays in the background, adding to the serene, intimate atmosphere as you dine.
Preparation steps:
- Dress elegantly for the occasion. Opt for comfortable yet stylish attire as you will be standing and moving around. Perhaps, a smart casual dress or a button-down shirt with tailored pants.
- Plan to arrive at the mansion a bit early to explore its architecture and gardens, setting a relaxed pace for the evening and allowing yourselves to fully soak in the historic ambiance.
- Discuss any dietary preferences or restrictions with the event organizers beforehand to ensure a smooth experience during the cooking class.
