I recently did a full-day cooking class with Asli at the Erenler Sofrasi restaurant. I had been to Bodrum a few times before and was looking for something different to do. Since I love to cook, this was an excellent fit! I was picked up at my hotel and our first stop was the Bodrum market behind the otogar to buy all our required ingredients. Then a quick drive to Ortakent and the restaurant. Ably assisted by Metin we spent the day preparing a large number of dishes. Asli was very informative on what we were doing and why and the time passed quickly. Kofte kadayif, sigara borek, a delicious zucchini, mint, yoghurt salad… and the list goes on. Finally, we sat down to enjoy everything we made along with a glass of Turkish rosé. I found it an excellent way to spend my day and highly recommend it as a way to discover another aspect of Turkish Mediterranean culture…
