  • You and your partner will begin your adventure at a popular local cooking class center where renowned chefs will warmly welcome you. In the cozy kitchen, you will be educated about traditional Turkish cuisine, especially local dishes from the Erzincan region. Learning to cook your own dinner will be an unforgettable experience as staff will teach you, step by step, to prepare exquisite dishes. After you've mastered the traditional techniques, you will take everything you've prepared back home for a private, intimate dinner.
  • Then, with the fruits of your hard work, you'll lay the table at home with the mouthwatering dishes you've created. The flickering candlelight, the aromatic dishes and the cozy ambiance of your own dining room would make the perfect setting for a romantic dinner. You can enjoy your meal while sharing stories, laughing and creating beautiful memories together.
  • Post dinner, you can also consider capping off the night with a traditional Turkish tea or coffee. Sitting together with a warm brew, expressions of love will flow alongside sweet and unforgettable moments.

Preparation steps:

  • Booking the cooking class and making sure it aligns with both of your schedules is the first step. It may be more engaging if you keep the dishes you'll be learning a surprise for your partner.
  • Make space in your fridge for the food you'll be bringing back, and lay out your best dinnerware for the romantic dinner at home. Set up candles and dim lighting to create a romantic ambiance. And don't forget to select your favourite playlist to have soft music playing in the background.
  • Ensure your kitchen is clean and stocked with coffee or tea for the end of the evening. Perhaps you can also prepare a surprise dessert - a little sweet treat to end the night.

Some tips:

  • Make sure to wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes since you'll be in a kitchen environment. Bring containers with you in case there are leftovers.
  • Although the class will guide you through the cooking process, feel free to add your own touch to the dishes. Cooking together is not just about the end result, but also about enjoying the process and each other's company.
  • Lastly, donโ€™t forget to express your gratitude at the end of the night for the effort you both put into making your date special. A note or a word of appreciation can make your date feel cherished and treasured.
