The cooking class in Tirana was an unforgettable, truly authentic experience! I prepared three traditional Albanian dishes, each one more flavorful than the last, and enjoyed plenty of local foods along the way. The host, Dervis, and his wife added so many personal touches that made the evening feel like a true celebration of Albanian culture. The experience was rich with history—even the glasses we used were carefully selected pieces from the communist period, adding a unique charm and a touch of the past to our table. Throughout the evening, I sipped on exceptional wine, specially chosen by Dervis’s wife to perfectly match each course. Alongside the food, we also sampled three different rakijas. This wasn’t just a cooking class; it was an intimate journey into Albanian heritage, with wonderful hosts who made us feel like family. Highly recommend this class to anyone looking to connect with Albania in a meaningful way!

Amazing experience! My almost 9 year old had a great time and we all learned a lot about good and culture. We walked away with our tummies full and happy- with leftovers for the next day. So glad we made this part of our Tirana itinerary.

An evening in great family company, with cozy music and a traditional Albanian dance at the end. We prepared delicious meals, with the technical knowledge of cooking. The largefamily atmosphere was made even more memorable by the international group, the packed meals - with plenty of local food and home-made drinks -which was eaten the next day by me. Our wonderful host and his family providing the calm and mirricle background. All my appreciation to the members of the young family and to the parents who raised them with true values.
