6/29/26 TURKISH PIZZA aka "LAHMACUN"

Join us Saturday, June 29th, 2026, from 6:00pm-8:00pm for a cooking class with Chef Birgül ‘Rose’ Duyar. Turkish cuisine is a beautiful marriage between Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Eastern European foods. It largely focuses on fresh herbs and produce, which has gained it notoriety for being one of the healthiest cuisines in the world.

At this class, you will learn to make Lahmacun, a Middle Eastern flatbread topped with a mixture of minced meat, tomatoes, onions and spices, then baked until crispy.  It is often referred to as "Turkish pizza" and is traditionally served hot, rolled up with fresh salad greens like parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice. The dish is a popular street food, and can be made vegetarian by substituting the meat with vegetables or a plant-based mince. 

Classes typically run for two hours and include all dishes you and the chef prepare.  

You will be offered a glass of wine and provided with water. You are welcome to bring any beverage of your choice for the rest of the evening, and we sell soft drinks, mineral water and other beverages. 

Reserve a spot by calling us at 501-664-6900 or checking out right here in our online store!

All ticket sales are final.  Due to food prep, planning, different chefs and food costs, tickets cannot be transferred to any future classes.  You may transfer your seat to someone else for the same date/class.
