True professionals at your service - The course was very enjoyable and detailed. I was able to learn how the two main Georgian dishes are prepared with a chef with many years of experience and her assistant. In addition to seeing how the Khachapuri and Khinkalis are prepared step by step, we ate some cheese and salad while preparing the dishes. Once finished, we were also able to taste them and enjoy our work, all accompanied by a glass of wine, I would definitely recommend if you like cooking.

A hidden gem - What an incredible opportunity to have first hand experience cooking traditional delicacies. The Khinkali and Kachapuri were both delicious and it was even better that we had prepared it!
Our instructor, Zazar, was brilliant and made sure we knew exactly what to do. Would highly recommend!!

Amazing! - Simply awesome. I am not fan of going to cooking classes, but this one was so good. We had a nice time, nice talk and everything was on point. The teacher, the lessons and the ambience gave a 10 out 10.

Cooking your own Georgian cuisine…what fun!!!! - Fabulous class. We try to do at least one cooking class per country we visit and this one is at the top for us! Nasser was very helpful and knowledgeable about the history and stories behind the food.
And the process of making the local dishes was so much fun!
The food was great too!

Great experience - Nice experience. We were the only 2 attending the session so we had the chance to practice all steps. The host took the trouble to explain everything carefully and made the experience fun. There was too much for us to eat so they gave us a box to take the rest away. The venue is a nice room in a Vinoteca

Fun class, absolutely worth it. - Excellent teacher, they email you the recipes, you can take photos and videos during the class. We bought two tickets and didn't know they would add us to a group, but it was so much fun working together with everyone.
You don't make the khinkali dough, that is provided for you. One person from the group makes the filling, another person makes the khachapuri dough, another person finishes the khachapuri.
Everyone helps fold the khinkali, which is the most important part of the process to learn.
As a proficient cook, watching the process was enough for me to learn how to make everything on my own. And it was so fun talking to the group members and sharing a meal with them.

Great experience - It was a nice experience, the chef and the translator were really charming. They did not give the wine they promised but the whole experience was worth doing it.
