Authentic Market Tour and Cooking Class in the Heart of Zagreb
Overview
This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. Željka (pronounced Zelika) is a warm and wonderful host excited to share authentic, Zagreb-style Croatian recipes, food and culture with travelers.
Start your culinary adventure with a walk through Dolac market learning about local and regional produce sold by your host's favored vendors and sampling seasonal fruits or snacks. After a coffee, go to Zeljka's centrally located, classic Zagreb apartment. Sip on a welcome homemade nut or berry liqueur and have a snack before joining your host in her kitchen to prepare an authentic Zagreb-style 3-course Croatian meal from family recipes. You will prepare three dishes from scratch - a seasonal soup, meat or fish with sides, and a dessert. Based on the day of the week, the menu varies.
