What to do and see in Cappadocia, Turkey: The Best Food & Drink

December 1, 2021 Timmy Ribble

Lying in south central Turkey, the moonscaped region of Cappadocia, southeast of Ankara, is most famous for unique geological features called fairy chimneys. The large, cone-like formations were created over time by erosion of the relatively soft volcanic ash around them. Past cultures have dug into them to create dwellings, castles (like Uchisar) and even entire underground cities like Kaymakli and Derinkuyu, used as hiding places by early Christians. Nearby Kayseri is the gateway to the area.

My family loves to travel. Some of our favorite things about traveling to a new country are meeting its people, learning about the culture and, of course, trying their food. How could we pass up an opportunity to do all 3 along with learning to cook some regional specialties in a local family’s home. We heard about Cappadocia Home Cooking from our hotel owner so we booked a cooking class for my wife, daughter and myself. What we got was a chance to hangout with 3 generations of a Turkish family and cook with them in their kitchen, which has been modified to conduct classes. Tolga Duran and his family are charming, fun and informative and we had a great time getting to know them and learning some local recipes. Our class and then dinner lasted about 3 hours. You can be as hands on in the class as you choose to be and best of all you get to eat all of your creations, as well as some of theirs, afterwards. We highly recommend the experience.
