What To Expect

Dive into the pure, fresh flavours of Estonia with a hands-on cooking class that celebrates local ingredients and traditional recipes. Estonian cooking class is a culinary journey through Estonia where we learn to cook authentic and traditional Estonian dishes - the ones that we love and eat daily. Under the guidance of skilled instructors, you’ll learn to create a typical Estonian 3-course meal, from start to finish. As Estonian cuisine is very seasonal, the menu varies and depends on what season we are in. But this class is more than just cooking – it’s a lively, interactive experience filled with fun, laughter, and a deeper connection to Estonia’s gastronomic heritage. Once the cooking is done, you’ll savour the fruits of your labour together, sharing stories and flavours around the table. Perfect for travellers who want to taste and take home the authentic flavours of Estonia!

Experience real Estonian home cooking

This Estonian cooking class in Tallinn was an absolute highlight of our trip. Reilika was a warm, welcoming, and incredibly engaging host who made the experience both educational and fun. We learned how to prepare traditional Estonian home cooking, including hearty barley bread, classic potato salad, roasted blood sausage with potatoes and sauerkraut, and a delicious layered gingerbread dessert with red currants and berries. Beyond the food, Reilika brought Estonian culture and history to life with fascinating and often amusing stories about growing up in Estonia during the Soviet era. Her passion, knowledge, and sense of humour made the class feel personal and memorable, not just instructional. We’ll be sure to remember the golden rules of potato salad (no carrots or onion and mash the egg with a fork!!). :) Everything was well organized, hands-on, and delicious from start to finish. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting an authentic taste of Estonian cuisine and culture.
Great experience. The host was very friendly and made the whole experience relaxing and fun.

Loved our cooking class, which ended up being private, thankful wasn't canceled. Learned not only about Estonian home cooking but also what life was like growing up during Soviet rule. It was very informal, helping fix the meal and then sitting around a table, eating and chatting with a friend.
