Ada also enjoys cat sitting locally and has a special affection for caring for both animals and people. \nWith a deep love for nature\, Ada often forages and harvests edible plants to incorporate into her recipes. As the youngest of five in a large family\, Ada learned how to cook from her mother and her mother’s friends\, growing up in a home where hospitality was a central value\, reflecting the essence of Turkish culture. \n———————————– \nCancellation Policy \nAs a small charity with limited spaces\, we ask that you cancel at least 48 hours in advance if you can’t attend a free community class\, so we can offer your spot to someone else.
