Experience Details

This isn’t just a cooking class—it’s a slice of Bosnian life.

Join our Bosnian Pie Cooking Class in the heart of Sarajevo and discover why locals believe pita (pie) isn’t just food—it’s love, tradition, and identity rolled into one. Guided by warm and witty local hosts, you’ll learn the centuries-old techniques of hand-rolling dough, stuffing savory fillings, and baking it to golden perfection.


But the experience doesn’t stop at the oven. You'll enjoy your freshly made pies in a cozy, communal setting, complete with homemade sides, seasonal salads, and your choice of rakija, local wines, or non-alcoholic drinks. Traditional Bosnian music sets the mood, and you'll walk away not only full—but with your own personalized recipe booklet and a certificate that says: “Yes, I can make pita like a local.”
