Transform your grill. Learn how to make traditional Turkish Kebabs in this private virtual cooking class with a chef, live from Turkey

Welcome to The Chef & The Dish cooking class we believe has the oldest of all origins. Kebabs. The earliest mention of Kebabs was in the year 800 AD. Derived from the Arabic word "kabāb" which translates to "roasted meat" this concept is one of the oldest in mankind. Skip the obvious cavemen, even Homer’s Iliad, written in 800 BC, mentions meat roasted on skewers. It's believed the first modern day kebabs were made of lamb, but while that is up for debate - one thing holds very true - Kebab making is an art in Turkey. Ancient cities throughout the country are filled with the smells and sounds of kebabs sizzling by nearby bazaar vendors. Different cities have their different versions of kebabs, all equally delicious. There are even Kebab Masters, who train and apprentice for years, learning the art of the trade. 


In this cooking class, Chef Asli, will video call into your home, live from her kitchen in Turkey. Together you'll make this traditional Turkish kebabs, a staple tomato sauce dressing, Bulgur Pilaf and Shepherd's Salad. This Turkish cooking class isn't to be missed.

My Niece and I took Chef Asli's Turkish Kebabs class. Chef Asli was so knowledgeable and patient. I have actually made kefta kabob a lot at home, and have struggled to improve the texture of both ground lamb and ground beef. I've tried most things: adding baking sode, adding a panade, grating and onion and dehydrating it. When I mentioned this to Chef Asli, her advice was so simple to implement (and unexpected). The result was succulent, tender kebab with not hint of meatball…

Michael got The Chef & The Dish for his Birthday. We had a lot of fun cooking with our Turkish chef Asli. We made lentil balls with tomato sauce, hummus, beetroot hummus and bulgur salad. It was an incredible meal and a lot of fun!!

Samantha Peterson

We had the pleasure of cooking with Chef Asli from Turkey yesterday. We made delicious Kebabs with a mixture of lamb and beef (and other ingredients), as well as a bulgur wheat salad, and a rice pilaf. We invited guests to share the meal with us, ad all of us really enjoyed it! Chef Asli is very personable, and extremely knowledgeable about her country and the regional foods.

Gayle Teget

We had a wonderful cooking class with Chef Asli Mutlu this weekend! Chef Asli is so knowledgeable and kind - we learned a ton, laughed a lot, and made a delicious meal! Our Kitchen Prep Assistant was also incredibly helpful, and made sure we had all of our ingredients and were ready for our class. The Chef & The Dish is a well-oiled machine - I highly recommend.
