About this Event
ABOUT THE CUISINE
Turkish cuisine comes from the crossroads of Europe and Asia and reflects a rich history of Ottoman, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern influences. It combines fresh vegetables, grains, legumes, herbs, and spices to create vibrant, flavourful dishes. Meals are hands-on, social, and meant to be shared, with signature dishes like Kisir, Manti, and Sigara Boregi highlighting the warmth, variety, and communal spirit of Turkish food culture.
ABOUT THE CHEF
A message from chef Bushra:
“Hi, I’m Bushra. I’m originally from Turkey and now live in London with my husband. My passion for cooking started in childhood with my mother’s support. I began making cakes and salads at a young age, and over time, my love for food grew stronger. While working as a teacher in Turkey, I also created an Instagram account to share my favourite recipes. Through it, I connected with many food lovers. I especially enjoy making desserts, traditional Turkish meals, and exploring global cuisines. I love experimenting to find the very best recipes for traditional Turkish dishes. I try techniques from different chefs; each dish feels like a new journey. Two years ago, I was introduced to Migrateful through a friend, and during one of their events, I found myself dreaming of being part of their journey. Now, being a part of this amazing team brings me so much happiness, and I’m truly grateful to everyone who has supported me along the way. Every class is a chance to connect through food, learn something new, and share joy. I can’t wait to cook with you and create delicious memories together!”.

THE CLASS FORMAT
Our cookery classes are family-style - meaning everyone works together to prepare the dishes as a team.
While you’ll be asked to choose one dish to focus on, you’ll have the opportunity to move around the kitchen, help with other dishes, and learn from each recipe. It’s a fun, social, and collaborative way to cook! At the end of the class, you’ll sit down with the chef, class facilitator and volunteers to enjoy the delicious meal you’ve created together.
