Additional Information

You’ll acquire new culinary skills that can be easily implemented at home. I had the privilege of growing up learning from the best cooks, my mother and grandmother. Let’s communicate through food. I’ll guide you on how to prepare ingredients at home. In olden days, people made do with limited ingredients and maximized their culinary skills to make the best meals possible. The crux of Macedonian cuisine lies in creating delicious dishes from a handful of ingredients, challenging you to use your creativity to make the tastiest dish from what you have.

Vegetarians are indeed welcome.

Please inform me beforehand if there are any specific dietary requirements.

MUST DO IN OHRID! - WOW! What an experience this was. I feel so lucky that I got to do this class with Sonia and I am so excited to go back home and recreate what I learned. We made a traditional pie, pinjur salad, stuffed peppers and rice pudding. I felt so welcomed into Sonia’s home and it was lovely chatting with her and her husband. I even got to meet a couple of their friends. When the food was cooked we all sat down and enjoyed it together over some drinks and laughs. There was so much food! And it was DELICIOUS! The location of the class is beautiful. It was so serene, in my dreams I’d stay there for hours relaxing in the garden with a book. I learned so much about Macedonian culture and heritage whilst we were chatting. I even got to sample the delicious cherry tomatoes and hazelnuts that are grown on the farm. I was very sad when it was time for me to leave to catch my bus to Skopje. The other great thing was that this includes pick up and drop off at your accomodation. Thank you so much for your hospitality Sonia and Zoran. I had a beautiful time!

AMAZING CLASS!! - This cooking class was amazing! I spent half day with Sonia and Daniela, and I could learn a lot about Macedonian food and also history about Macedonia. My favorite part of the cooking was to make the macedonian pie dough and to learn how to do the cheese. AMAZING CLASS!!!
