Additional Information

We’ll start off the excursion with a comfortable meet-up at our office space, situated close to the city heart. Post that, we will proceed to Nina’s place, nestled in the core of Berat’s historical castle.
Upon your arrival at Nina’s abode, a warm greeting from our local host and master chef awaits you. The culinary session will commence with a short run-down about the recipes we are going to create. You’ll be provided with all essential ingredients and tools, and our master chef will assist you through each step of making it.
You’ll get the chance to whip up two or three indigenous Albanian dishes, based on your liking and time at hand. You can choose to prepare dishes like Tave Kosi (a lamb and yogurt casserole), Fërgesë (a typical Albanian dish made with peppers, tomatoes, and cheese), or Byrek. Once the cooking part is all wrapped up, it’s time to settle down and relish the feast you’ve made! At Nina’s, we value imparting an amicable, inviting, and enlightening experience to our guests.

absolute must do in this charming country - such an incredible experience centred in an authentic home in the charming town of berat where the family had lived for over 4 generations! nina was an incredible host able to adjust the dish for our vegetarian diet: the dish itself (though we had three courses and many wines haha) was really easy to make and we have replicated it multiple times since being home in england this was the highlight of our trip and if you are deliberating over which albanian cooking class to do, this is absolutely the one for you. many thanks to the wonderful family and their friends, i hope you are all doing well!
