Simit and Turkish Breakfast Workshop with a Chef

The Chef-Guided Simit and Turkish Breakfast Experience is a hands-on culinary workshop where you prepare simit, one of Istanbul's most iconic street foods, with your own hands, and then come together for a traditional Turkish breakfast. This experience is not just about eating, but about actively experiencing the entire process of simit making, from dough to table.

The workshop begins with the kneading of simit dough under the guidance of a professional chef. Participants shape the dough by hand, dip it in a traditional molasses mixture, and coat it generously with sesame seeds for a crispy texture. While the prepared simits are being baked in a professional bakery, guests have the opportunity to watch the process; and while the simits are baking, they also learn and prepare essential Turkish breakfast dishes such as menemen, acuka, and homemade jam.

The experience culminates at a communal breakfast table where warm bagels and prepared breakfast items come together. The table includes cheese, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, menemen (Turkish scrambled eggs with tomatoes and peppers), acuka (Turkish pepper paste), homemade jam, and unlimited Turkish tea. This approximately two-hour experience offers both a hands-on cooking lesson and a warm, friendly, and sharing-focused exploration of Turkish breakfast culture.

This experience is an unforgettable activity for individual travelers, couples, families, groups of friends, and corporate events, offering both fun and a genuine connection to the daily life of Istanbul.
