I just can't explain the bad review listed in may!! My mother and I just completed an almost 6 hour market tour with Selin and Taji. We spent most of the tour on the island side with Taji who is so warm, fun and a wonderful guide to Turkish cuisine. Both ladies were professional, punctual and really aimed to make... More

the spice market is as the word implies, prepare your nose to experience the best spices. on top of that, this is also a better place to buy turkish delights, since its cheaper here compared to the grand bazaar. not only that, the best turkish coffee at its most affordable price if found here. there's also a lot of nuts...

I'm so glad we did this cooking class. It was wonderful to be invited to someone's home and learn to cook. Selin and her assistant were so organized and explained everything so well. We went with a group of 6 and had a wonderful meal with leftovers for the next day. I'm vegetarian and she modified the recipes for me.... More

Selin is a fantastic lady to spend a day with. Of course she teaches you the cook some of the most amazing food you may taste on your trip (and not just the obvious Turkish favorites, but more traditional delights as well), but the real treat is the insight that Selin gives you into Turkish life and culture. An extremely... More

My traveling companion and I were excited about our trip to Istanbul...and especially Turkish food. She loves to cook, so I booked the Turkish Flavours culinary tour and cooking class on-line prior to leaving on the trip as a gift to her. Good call. Selin is an interesting person, is willing to answer any question on Turkey and its people,... More

My friend and I just finished an adventure packed vacation in Istanbul and were lucky enough to have a wonderful day of authentic Turkish cooking with the lovely Selin! Her beautiful apartment with a professional instructional kitchen was an easy walk from Taksim Square (about 15 - 20 minutes). We completed a full 7 dishes that covered a variety of... More

A friend of mine had enthusiastically recommended Selin, both her in-home class and her marke tour, but imagine my surprise when this busy woman just as faithfully recounted my friend's story and her work to the group. Selin must meet hundreds of tourists a month, but she treated each of us in her class today as a friend. That set... More

My daughter and I traveled to Istanbul to explore the exotic and historical which is Turkey. And it's all there and it's glorious. But after several days of good food, beautiful sights and learning we wanted more...a better way to understand Turkish life and culture. We found Selin and "Turkish Flavours" and made a feast together along with five other... More

My husband and I had an incredible experience with Selin at her four hour Turkish cooking class. It takes place in her gorgeous home, which she and her family have lived in for generations. She has set up a gorgeous space in which to teach and cook, on par with any professional cooking class I have taken. My husband and... More

Be sure to arrive hungry - because Selin will introduce you to all of the best Turkish dishes. We had a delightful and memorable day touring the markets, riding the Ferry to the Asian side and eating a wonderful lunch - would highly recommend to anyone visiting Istanbul! More
