Melissa

This was an amazing and memorable afternoon, my only regret is that I can only give Defne 5 stars.

Richard

I had a great time sharing food with Defne and meeting the artists who work alongside her at the studio. I highly recommend this experience!

Embry

Very enriching, thought provoking, inspiring and soul nourishing experience.

Tijen

As an avid art and culinary focused traveler, I could not recommend this more! Meeting local artists, hearing about their projects, civic engagements, touring their maker spaces, and being invited into their community for an afternoon was an insightful and inspiring experience.

Kathleen

Defne was an amazing host. From her first welcoming Hello, she made us feel comfortable and at home. She had put a lot of effort into cooking and preparing authentic dishes. With each dish came an explanation of her culture and we felt very open to ask her anything.

Walter

Delicious experience in Lisbon! This was a wonderful way to begin my adventures in Lisbon. Defne is a fantastic host and a great cook. She walked me through two recipes and then we shared a delicious meal in the garden. Defne has a wealth of local and culinary knowledge to share which made this experience really special.

Kateryna

Defne was a wonderful host. Very knowledgeable about the food and background of the food prepared. After she taught us how to cook the meal, we had a fabulous dinner and conversation in her garden. Plenty to eat and easy new recipes to try when we return home
