Description
This is more than a cooking class—it’s a taste of Albanian food, culture, and hospitality.
The experience begins at the Durrës Fresh Market, where locals shop for the ingredients they bring home to their own kitchens. Wander the stalls with Chef Erti, meet village farmers who grow and sell their own seasonal produce, discover local ingredients, and learn how Albanians choose what’s fresh and what’s worth bringing home. It’s a glimpse into everyday life here—and the beginning of the meal you’ll create together.
Then, head to the nearby studio and cook alongside Chef Erti as he prepares some of his favorite traditional Albanian dishes. Everyone gets involved, whether you’re confident in the kitchen or barely know where to start. Erti keeps things relaxed, hands-on, and easy to enjoy.
As you cook, the music, local wine, and homemade raki flow. Taste as you go, share stories, laugh, and eventually sit down together to enjoy everything you’ve made.
There’s no pressure to be a great cook. Come ready to participate, eat well, and have a good time.
You’ll leave with more than a few new recipes. You’ll experience Albanian food the way it’s meant to be enjoyed: together.
