Esin's Kitchen – RY Marketplace

Highlights
– Culinary
– Visiting a Turkish home
– Your host, Esin, will take you on a journey to explore the local culinary culture and learn how to cook some delicious Turkish recipes.

Description

In this experience, you will be visiting Esin’s home, where she will show you how to prepare delicious homemade food with fresh ingredients bought from the local market that same day. Beware if you don’t want your hands to get dirty. Because you’ll have to roll your sleeves up and follow Esin’s instructions as she shows you how to cook the recipes she learned from her mother and grandmother.

The menu is not set but you may expect to find samples from each course of a proper Turkish meal. That means soup, starters, the main course, and finally, a dessert. She’ll use widely available ingredients so that you can continue the fashion as you keep moving around the world. Your dietary preferences and/or restrictions and allergies will be considered.

When you arrive at her place, she will make a short introduction to the culture of making and enjoying food in Turkey. Then, hands-on! Make sure to come a little hungry because when everything is ready, a feast will be waiting for you.

After the booking deadline

By this point we will have definitely made promises and financial commitments on your behalf and so cancellation fees may be up to 100%. What happens if my booking is changed/cancelled due to weather?

Let’s be real – no one can control the weather, and sometimes things just don’t go as planned. But don’t worry, your City Manager is here to help and will do their best to come up with a solution if an event is affected. We understand that everyone’s schedule is different, so while we can’t guarantee a make-up option will work for everyone, we promise to try our hardest. If you’re unable to attend the make-up date, no problem – we’ll give you a full refund for your booking.

I have a discount or gift code, can I use it to complete my purchase?

Yes, once you add your item to your cart and check out, you will be able to input the code before completing the purchase. If you need help finding your code, please double check your inbox. You received an email from Marketplace with the code.

Can I book for a friend / family member?

Sure! We welcome your friends and family coming to visit you while you travel the world. We do, however, reserve the right to deny access to Friends / Family who are over using RY Services. 

I haven’t received a booking confirmation email, can you help?

Please reach out to us at [email protected] and we’ll help. In some cases, you may have multiple emails associated on the Marketplace and this is causing some confusion. Reach out and we’ll do our best to sort it out! 

If I cannot attend, can I transfer my ticket to someone else?

Yes, you may transfer your booking to another Nation Member or Family/Friend. Please notify the City Manager as soon as possible to confirm the change. Please note, in the case of special dietary requirements, we might not be able to accommodate special requests on last minute changes. Any bookings that require advanced ticketing linked to an individual’s ID might not be approved. 

Will I be able to work on this experience? 

If you have to check in with work at any point during the scheduled time, we recommend confirming with the City Manager before booking.

I’m a Nation Member but not on an active program, can I still book? 

We will always prioritize Remotes who are traveling with an active program on experiences. You may be able to book but there is a chance the City Manager will reach out to let you know we have to release your spot for an active Remote. If you’re in a city but not traveling with a program, we recommend reaching out to the City Manager on the Hub to confirm before booking.
