We meet at Cerciz Topulli square, where you join with your host and walk over to one of the oldest neighbourhoods, “Pazar i Vjeter” to meet Marjeta and her husband. 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 a vegetarian menu, and under the guidance of Marjeta we will learn three dishes. The first one is called “Qofte bobollaqe” consisting mainly on yogurt, the traditional “Qifqis” found only in Gjirokaster and consisting mainly on rice and 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. Your cooking class will conclude after the meal.

Cheers and Bon appetite!

The highlight of the experience was Marieta – she was definitely a character: joyful, cheeky, and so much fun! We were welcomed by a friendly translator who stayed with us throughout, which added to the experience. They answered all of our questions, and additional dishes accompanied what we made.
Loved it

We booked the vegeterian cooking class and Teta Marjeta was incredible and funny even without speaking english. There was an english translator with us who explained everything. The cooking class was very informative, the dishes we learned are an integral part of Gjirokaster history. Also the dinner setup was so cute :) Much recommended.
Amazing experience for a surprise trip with a friend

I organized a surprise trip to Albania to my best friend and also this experience was a surprise to her. I thought it was a great idea of us to connect with local culture and learn something we can both bring home. Marieta was such a nice lady, she made us feel super comfortable. Also having a translator was something interesting! I highly recommend and I’m sure I would do it again!
