Experience Details
This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. Željka (pronounced Zelika) is a warm and wonderful host excited to share authentic, Zagreb-style Croatian recipes, food and culture with travelers.
Start your culinary adventure with a walk through Dolac market learning about local and regional produce sold by your host's favored vendors and sampling seasonal fruits or snacks. After a coffee, go to Zeljka's centrally located, classic Zagreb apartment. Sip on a welcome homemade nut or berry liqueur and have a snack before joining your host in her kitchen to prepare an authentic Zagreb-style 3-course Croatian meal from family recipes. You will prepare three dishes from scratch - a seasonal soup, meat or fish with sides, and a dessert. Based on the day of the week, the menu varies. Discover the tips and techniques involved in Croatian cooking as well as the food culture and history of the city as you share the authentic meal you helped prepare.
