Cooking class with Nina

5.00In the house Vasili we cooked with Nina and Mikael (translator) Hacktätschli, Ferges and baked eggplant in the evening. The kitchen is covered outside and you cook with gas. We had a private cooking class for two and had a lot of fun and very delicious, local food. It was accompanied by water and wine and for dessert Petulla with quince jam.
FIVE STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5.00We were welcomed by Nina and a friend to make three typical Albanian dishes. Mickael speaks French very well, we talked a lot. We pick you up at the bottom of the town to climb into a typical house next to the castle. Small glass of Raki to start with and then we prepare the dishes. Everything was very good and the atmosphere very friendly. We definitely recommend this moment to share.
Good food, and I learned something!

5.00Very nice homely experience with a good view. Aubergine, meatballs, ferges (a cheese dish), and pancakes. So delicious! I’ll take some lessons home. The view was quite excellent as it was the mountains unfurling. Location is inside of Berat castle.
Delicious cooking in a cool location

5.00We as a couple would definetily recomend this cookingclass. Nina and Mikel are very nice people and hosts! We felt very welcome in Ninas home. The food was exceptionally good, the Raki and vine was amazing. The food was better than in the resturants, so if you really want to eat local, this is the place to be. A 10 out of 10, nothing less.
Cooking class in a local house
