You'll learn new cooking techniques that can easily be repeated at home. I was fortunate enough to grow up among the best cooks, my grandmother and my mother. Let the food be our language. I will introduce you how the ingredients can be made at home. In the past times people didn't have many ingredients and used their skills to make the best possible meal. The most important thing in Macedonian cuisine is that the dishes are made from only a few ingredients and you must use your imagination to make the testiest dish from the available products.
Vegetarians are welcomed.
Please let me know in advance if you have any dietary restrictions.

5.00We had the most wonderful time with Sonja and her husband. We learned all about Macedonian food and traditions. The dishes made were excellent and we ate outside in the garden of their wonderful weekend home outside of Ohrid. If you are thinking about it, book this experience right away! Kim, Gracie, & Norah
Highlight of out trip to Ohrid

5.00Our cooking class with Sonja was one of the highlights of our trip to Ohrid. Sonja picked us up and took us to her lovely home outside the town centre and made us feel at home right away. During the afternoon learnt how to make several different traditional local foods which we would never have attempted or even heard of if not for this class, and all of them were delicious (we also had the opportunity to try some home made Raki!), and we had such a good time we could easily have spent the rest of the afternoon chatting with Sonja and her husband. We would recommend this class to anyone who wants the opportunity for a hands on Macedonian experience where you will learn lots about the local cuisine, culture and history.
Delicious & Fun!
