Musem Akademi teaches a dedicated regional Gaziantep cuisine programme from its Karagöz kitchens, the most serious local course open to people from outside the trade.
Tip: This is a full programme rather than a one-morning class, so it suits longer stays.
The pastry foundation course at Musem Akademi in Gaziantep covers dough, laminating and syrup work, which is the technical base under katmer and baklava.
Tip: The academy lists 19 active workshops alongside its main programmes, so ask what is running.
My Turkey Adventure builds a baklava workshop into its private Gaziantep itineraries, which is the simplest way for a short-stay visitor to get behind a rolling pin.
Tip: It is sold inside a wider private itinerary, so ask for pricing on the workshop alone.
