A Must for Bread Lovers If you love good bread, I really recommend this class. The simit comes out just as good as, or even better than, the ones I've had in Turkey. Everything is explained clearly, and the little tips make a big difference. I'll definitely be making these again.

Sesame’s Simit Masterclass I really liked that one day we made simit in Leili Joon's workshop. We talked together, laughed, and enjoyed it. Play dough became a kind of therapy for us, and the smell of sesame filled the whole house. Thank you Leili Joon for bringing this atmosphere to our house
