Ever sit in Anatolian Gyro on Sheepshead Bay Road (and who among us hasn’t?), happily munching on a refreshing cornucopia of humus, stuffed grape leaves, baba ghanoush, tabule, or one of their succulent lamb or chicken kebabs, and think to yourself, “Gee, I wish I could cook food as awesome as this?”

Well, good news: Now you actually can make food as awesome as that, because those mind-readers at the Turkish Cultural Center of Brooklyn knew you wanted to learn how to cook Turkish food, and they are not ones to disappoint.

Turkish Cooking Classes will be held once a month at the Turkish Cultural Center of Brooklyn (245 Avenue U between West 4th Street and Van Sicklen Street), beginning April 23 at 3 p.m.

This month’s featured recipes will be Manti and Burma Baklava.

RSVP to the center by calling (646) 241-6600 or e-mailing rsvp@tccbrooklyn.org.

    Thanks for the article Erica, I sent it to Ned a few days ago. Guess he does not cook much.

      You went?? That is so awesome…and that Manti looks especially amazing. Glad to hear you had a nice time. I had actually ordered from Anatolian last night, so we ate Turkish food in solidarity with one another yesterday, although I kept it simple and just ordered the dark meat chicken platter. :)

        Yup. I brought up your article and the ladies loved it and said thank
        you.
        They said it would be wonderful to meet you and hoped you would attend
        an event.

          Oh, that’s so lovely to hear — thank you! It’s always very nice to receive positive feedback, and one day, perhaps, I will drop in for a Turkish cooking class. With the way I cook, I could surely benefit from any cooking class, whether it’s Turkish, Japanese, or plain old American diner food.

          Was it only women?

  • Faba

    Were their any dudes taking the class?

      No there are no men allowed in this cooking class. It is only targeted towards women. The men learn to cook Gyro at professional cooking classes. This is just to introduce different dishes from the Turkish kitchen to women.
