In this course we will teach you some special recipes of TetaMarjeta, a lady that loves cooking and will open her home for us . Led by your local guide, step inside Marjetas home, sip on a glass of raki produced by her husband or some of the delicious drinks she makes and try your hand a local recipe, using fresh, local ingredients. Then sit down to savor the fruits of your labor with your guide and Marjeta. Make your way to CercizTopulli square, to join up with the host and walk over to Marjeta. We begin the class with a glass of raki or a soft drink while chatting with your group mates. The food we are going to prepare is called Osa(kind of pasta combined with chicken). Another recipe will be the traditional “Qifqis” found only in Gjirokaster and consisting mainly on rice and also the desert called “Hasude”. All these three are accompanied by the salad of the season Marjeta has already prepared for you. After all the hard work, sit down with your group to savor each of your dishes. Pair your menu with a complimentary glass of wine, raki, or a soft drink and have a nice chat while you eat. In the end a recipe of what you have cooked will be given to you to prepare it back home!

Super fun cooking class at Marieta house. Cooked three local dishes with wine and on a cute veranda with local ingredients. Everyone including our translator Besi were amazing and so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend for an overall awesome experience of food, culture and a good time.
