Cindi was SO... - Cindi was SO accommodating and friendly and went out of her way to make sure we all had the best time together. The food was delicious and the recipes easily accessible for later. She told us all about how her business has grown over the years and was so kind to my friend who had just moved to Tirana, offering to help her out in any way possible. There were only 4 of us in our particular class as some pulled out last minute I believe, but we all became good friends throughout the session and much laughter was shared! Could not recommend this experience enough.

If you don’t do anything else… DO THIS!!! - I would give this 10 stars if I could. Our host was amazing! Very cordial and really got us all involved. We had a small group of 4 - two singles and a couple and it was fabulous! So much food… I wish I could have taken leftovers but they didn’t go to waste since the other single took them with her.

Surpassed our expectations. - I had such an amazing experience at this cooking class in Tirana! Sindi, our host, was exceptional from start to finish—so friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. Even though we arrived a little late due to Tirana traffic as we were coming from Durrës, she made us feel completely at ease straight away. The food was absolutely delicious, and getting to cook traditional dishes ourselves made it even more special. The homemade wine and olive oil were truly incredible—some of the best I’ve ever tasted! Overall, it was just a fantastic experience from beginning to end. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Tirana—you won’t regret it!

Fantastic Experience - a must!!! - I’ve never done a cooking class before and if all the others are like this, then WOW! Highly recommend booking. Not only is the teacher brilliant and super fun, the group atmosphere really made this experience worth it. The food was delicious, and the relaxed setting of the home really felt like you got an authentic experience.

Both times were a charm - I enjoyed this class so much, I did it again! And the second time was even better. The people were interesting and easy to talk with, and the menu was different and just as tasty. I cannot recommend the experience more highly.
