Cooking Class - Classic Turkish Cuisine in Ottawa

Chef Burcu was fantastic - the class was fun, informative, and most importantly, delicious! I'd recommend this to anyone. Thank you Chef for a great evening!

Wonderful experience! Food was amazing, Chef Burcu’s place is beautiful and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Chef Burcu was wonderful. We took her Turkish Cuisine class with friends and we had a lovely time. The food was so delicious and we got to take some baklava with us home! We will be back to take other classes with her soon. We highly recommend her.

I came to the class with almost no prior experience in cooking but chef Burcu was amazing at navigating me through the process, and with some great results!

Chef Burcu presented a wonderful evening. She had the ingredients prepped before we got there, and demonstrated the main courses for us: soup, beef stew and eggplant in a creamy sauce. We were hands-on for the salad prep, and the tahini walnut dessert. The salad and dessert were simple and delicious. The pomegranate dressing was amazing - I'll definitely add those to our regular repertoire! It was very interesting to see the eggplant prep, and we were hands-on for some of this part. I'm keen to try it out at home - it was really delicious, and seeing it up close it I'm confident we'll be able to repeat the process. Chef Burcu was well organized and professional. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, and the meal was fantastic!

We had a wonderful time with Chef Burcu. The meal was delicious and we learned some neat tricks to bring home to our own cooking. My wife and I were made to feel very comfortable and enjoyed a lovely evening.

I came into this experience with no expectations and Chef Burcu left me amazed. She takes the time to explain everything before you begin and allows you to be as involved as you want. I recommend taking a hands on approach to the class so you can really take it in. Ive seen other cooking classes and they seem to be in larger groups this one was much better because its just your guest and the chef in a private kitchen. The meal was by far one of the best i've had in years, each course was full of flavors tasted so fresh with the authentic turkish ingredients she provides. I got to try at least 5 new ingredients that added so much flavor to the meal. Chef Burcu is extremely easy going which makes the experience so much more enjoyable, she really did her best to make us feel comfortable in her kitchen. I highly recommend booking a class with her, the food on its own is better than any meal you'll get in Ottawa. The experience is an amazing memory you wont regret.

My partner and I had an excellent time learning from Chef Burcu! The menu was extraordinarily put together and all of the dishes were extremely tasty. I was particularly fond of the red lentil soup and my partner loved the beef stew with aubergine. We will definitely be making those recipes again with the handy recipes she provided. Chef Burcu made us feel very welcomed into her exceptionally clean and inviting home and even offered us aprons to wear during our cooking lesson. We learned proper chopping techniques and assisted with the food preparation. Chef Burcu served us dinner and offered us Turkish coffee which was delightful. She even surprised us with a cake that said “happy 5th anniversary” which made my partner and I feel extra special on our special day. Overall, cooking with Chef Burcu was a wonderful experience that my partner and I will fondly remember and will recommend to friends and family and any other lovers of food/cooking!

A very intimate and unique birthday gift that my husband and I really enjoyed. Chef Burcu is very experienced and a joy to cook with and learn from.

Chef was so delightful, patient and charismatic. The food was delicious. I would highly recommend.

Chef Burcu’s class was so organized. When we arrived, everything was ready for us. She explained the process, gave helpful hints, and tips. She provided a relaxed and interactive environment to have fun, chat with the others, and learn a new dish. Of course, sitting down to a nice meal at the end of the session was the best part. I highly recommend her whether you are a beginner or a practiced cook.

Our experience cooking with Chef Burcu was fantastic! Her explanations and demonstrations made everything feel natural when it was our turn to try, and the food turned out incredible! Highly recommended.

We recently had the pleasure of attending a team-building cooking class, and it was an amazing experience! Chef Burcu was outstanding – not only incredibly skilled but also exceptionally patient and personable. she made the entire session fun and engaging, ensuring everyone felt involved and capable, regardless of their cooking experience. The food we prepared under the chef's guidance was phenomenal. Every dish turned out delicious, and we left with both full stomachs and new culinary skills. The chef’s ability to balance teaching, coaching, and fostering a relaxed atmosphere was truly impressive. It was the perfect blend of teamwork, learning, and enjoyment. If you’re looking for a unique and memorable activity, I highly recommend this experience. A huge thank you to Chef Burcu for making it such a fantastic day!

My partner and I really enjoyed this class. The food was tons of fun to make and was delicious!. We will be looking at more classes in the future.

Chef Burcu and her staff were great. Engaging, insightful and our entire crew thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Thanks again.
