What is a culinary yoga retreat?
Culinary yoga retreats are becoming more popular as people begin to recognise the importance of mind-body connection as a pathway to healthy living. This culinary yoga retreat combines traditional mediterranean cooking with daily yoga practice to nourish guests from the inside out. You can cook and yoga as much as you like, it’s completely up to you. This retreat will offer you many options to choose from in addition to fresh local meals and yoga including hiking, visits to local attractions, shopping and more.
What kind of food can I expect?
Turkish food of course! But not just the Turkish food you might be used to in restaurants like kebab and lahmacun. Turkish cuisine has so much more to offer than that and on retreat you’ll get to experience real Turkish home cooking. You’ll get the chance to learn new dishes you may not have come across before and see exactly what goes into one of the healthiest diets in the world.
What will I learn how to make?
Each day there will be an opportunity to come together to learn how to make a traditional Turkish meal, this may include:
– Gözleme (Stuffed flatbread)
– Börek (Stuffed savoury pastry)
– Dolma (Stuffed peppers)
– Saç kavurma (Aromatic sautéed lamb)
– Köfte (Grilled meatball)
– Kuru fasulye (White bean stew)
