London, what do you know about Turkish food? And what do you know about vegan Turkish food?
A proper plant-based Turkish food experience is on the cards in June but with only a handful of spaces up for grabs, you will need to act fast.
Keep reading below for the full lowdown.
Made In Hackney is hosting a one-off Turkish cooking masterclass on Saturday 7 June and it is shaping up to be an unforgettable event. It’s all vibrant mezze, comforting stews and sweet treats.
This is your chance to dive deep into the rich flavours of Mediterranean Turkey with someone who truly knows the heart of the cuisine.
The class is led by Ada, a passionate cook originally from Finike in Turkey. With roots in radio and TV back home, Ada now channels all her energy into nourishing people with food and love. She forages, she cat sits, she cooks with joy and care, and now she is sharing her plant-based take on classic Turkish dishes right here in East London.
The menu is bursting with colour and flavour. You will learn to make everything from juicy Gömbe salad and silky chilled lentil purée to traditional flour halva for dessert. Ada will even be sharing her secret family salad recipe, not something that happens every day.
This is more than a cooking class. It is an experience created with genuine warmth and compassion.
And it gets better. By booking a spot, you are also helping Made In Hackney fight food insecurity through their community cooking programmes. So you get to eat well, learn something new and support a seriously important cause.
Spaces are extremely limited and will not hang around. If you want to be part of this beautiful plant-based Turkish food experience, book your place right now before it disappears.
