We meet at Cerciz Topulli square, where you join with your host and walk over to one of the oldest neighbourhoods, “Pazar i Vjeter” to meet Marjeta and her husband. We begin the class with a glass of raki or a soft drink while chatting with your group mates. The food we are going to prepare is a vegetarian menu, and under the guidance of Marjeta we will learn three dishes. The first one is called “Qofte bobollaqe” consisting mainly on yogurt, the traditional “Qifqis” found only in Gjirokaster and consisting mainly on rice and the desert called “Hasude”. All these three are accompanied by the salad of the season Marjeta has already prepared for you. After all the hard work, sit down with your group to savor each of your dishes. Pair your menu with a complimentary glass of wine, raki, or a soft drink and have a nice chat while you eat. Your cooking class will conclude after the meal. Cheers and Bon appetite!

Beautiful place to cook with lovely hosts

What a great experience to get out into a beautiful neighborhood and learn about Albanian culture through the food! Gorgeous outdoor kitchen, lovely hosts, fun interactive activity. The vegetarian class primarily consisted of cooking with flour, oil, water, and rice but fortunately Marjeta rounded it out with a fantastic salad from her garden.

Marieta - what a hoot!

The highlight of the experience was Marieta – she was definitely a character: joyful, cheeky, and so much fun! We were welcomed by a friendly translator who stayed with us throughout, which added to the experience. They answered all of our questions, and additional dishes accompanied what we made.

Amazing experience!

This cooking class was great! We didn’t end up going to the originally planned class, but did a class at “friends’ hostel”. The communication with the tour company was great and he even drove us to the new location (since the class was changed). We had a great time and the food was amazing! But the best part was the hospitality of the people there. We were welcomed as family and even had the dinner with the family and learned a lot about food and the community. 10/10 would recommend!
