“Our family did a Turkish Delight Workshop together - and it was such a lovely experience! We have an 8 year old and 4 year old and Lina was patient, kind, engaging and accommodating of the kids and adults! Lina made the experience so much fun - and we learnt so much, from the origins of Turkish Delight to how to make it!
