Duygu Karakus

My cooking lessons are designed to be hands-on, relaxed, and tailored to your pace and interests. Whether you’re just starting out or want to deepen your skills, I’ll meet you where you are and help you grow as a home cook.

Each lesson typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes and can be held in-person (if local) or online via video call, using everyday kitchen tools and ingredients. I provide a clear plan for each session, but there’s always room for spontaneity, questions, and fun along the way.

You’ll learn essential kitchen skills, like proper knife handling, seasoning techniques, and time-saving tips, as well as how to prepare full meals from scratch. My specialties include Mediterranean cuisine, fresh pasta making, and everything sourdough – from starter to crusty loaves.

With years of cooking experience in both professional and home kitchens, I’m passionate about sharing knowledge in a supportive, down-to-earth way. My goal is to help you feel confident, inspired, and excited to cook every day. Let’s bring the joy of cooking into your life – one lesson at a time!
