Berkeley Turkish School

Dear Friends,
We invite you to join us in celebrating the diverse and rich Anatolian Cuisine with the Bay Area Turkish Society (The Berkeley Turkish School). This event will be the first in a series of Culinary Gatherings in Berkeley, and we would love for you to be a part of this experience with us.
We feel that sharing culture through cuisine is an inclusive and beautiful process. Once a month, we will come together and learn how to cook traditional dishes from different regions and ethnicities in Anatolia from a culinary expert within our community. After cooking together, we will set the table, gather around and will enjoy the delicious meal we prepared together with the lovely company of the participants.
If you are interested, you can book your seat here for our first gathering. This is an invitation-only event with limited seating. If you cannot make it to this event, and are interested in the next events, please let us know so that we can email you our announcements.
