Description

Nestled amid olive groves and fragrant Mediterranean air, this cooking class offers an authentic glimpse into local food culture and heritage. Guided by an expert chef from Hani i Qerosit’s charming kitchen, participants are welcomed with genuine hospitality. After a tour of fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from nearby farms and groves, everyone gathers around a wide wooden table ready for a shared culinary journey. With gentle guidance, you’ll learn to craft a beloved Albanian dish—perhaps a golden byrek, hearty tavë kosi, or a vibrant serve of țuște me perime. The chef’s hands-on instruction encourages you to roll dough, layer fillings, or stir simmering pots, all while sharing stories that bring each ingredient to life. The ambiance is lively yet homey, filled with laughter, conversation, and the aroma of spices mingling with warm bread. As the dish nears completion, the group transitions from cooking to dining. Gathered under softly lit beams or in a shaded garden terrace, you’ll taste the fruits of your efforts alongside fellow food-lovers. Savor every bite of the traditional recipe—crisp, creamy, savory—with a sense of pride and accomplishment. This immersive experience goes beyond cooking: it’s cultural exchange. Expect to learn about the history behind each recipe, the significance of seasonal ingredients, and culinary customs passed down through generations. Friendly banter and shared memories enrich the atmosphere, making it feel like a family meal at the heart of a welcoming Albanian home. Ideal for travelers seeking more than a meal, this cooking class transforms you into a temporary member of Sarandë’s gastronomy community. You’ll leave not only with culinary techniques and a full belly, but with a deeper appreciation for Albania’s warm hospitality and vibrant food traditions—plus a recipe in hand to recreate the experience at home.
