Cooking Classes and Workshops in Zurich

Cooking & Culture in Zurich
Welcome to our group — where we cook, connect, and share cultures. 🌿

I’m Bahar, a private chef, food content creator, and storyteller from Istanbul, living in Zurich for over 10 years. Through my company Bab Events (“Bab” means “gate” in Turkish), I open the gates between cultures — connecting people through food, stories, and shared experiences.

This group is for everyone who loves cooking, dining, and discovering cultures through gastronomy. Here you’ll find:

🍴 Hands-on cooking classes & workshops – Learn authentic Mediterranean, Turkish, and Oriental recipes.
🥘 Dining & pop-up events – Enjoy curated menus and themed dinners inspired by the flavours of Istanbul, Anatolia, and beyond.
🎶 Cultural experiences – Evenings that mix food with music, storytelling, or food photography to celebrate the art of sharing.

My previous events include Bal-i Istanbul, a pop-up dinner series blending Turkish and Indonesian flavours, and The Story of Sharing, an Anatolian Meze workshop exploring culinary heritage and connection.

My mission is simple: to bring people together — to cook, learn, and celebrate across cultures.

Join us to experience the warmth of Mediterranean tables, the depth of Turkish traditions, and the beauty of stories told through food.

💛 Let’s cook, share, and connect — one meal at a time.
