Discover the rich flavors of Albanian cuisine through a unique farm-to-table vegan and vegetarian cooking experience in the UNESCO city of Berat.
Your experience begins at our office, where we'll warmly welcome you before taking you to our traditional family home in the countryside. Transportation from our office to the cooking location and back to your hotel or our office is included, allowing you to relax and enjoy every moment.
Upon arrival, you'll be greeted with genuine Albanian hospitality. Enjoy a cup of traditional Turkish coffee while tasting two different types of homemade Albanian raki, as we introduce you to the culinary traditions and local ingredients that have been part of our family's recipes for generations.
Then it's time to roll up your sleeves and start cooking! Together, we'll prepare four authentic Albanian vegan and vegetarian dishes using fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local farmers and gardens.
During this hands-on class, you will learn how to prepare 3 classic dishes (depends on the group and the seasion):
* Traditional Vegetarian Fërgesë
* Vegan or Vegetarian Albanian Meatballs
* Stuffed Eggplants with a flavorful vegetable filling
* Homemade Spinach(or others types) Byrek prepared with traditional techniques
Throughout the class, you'll discover cooking tips, traditional preparation methods, and the stories behind each recipe, making this much more than just a cooking lesson—it's a journey into Albanian culture and family traditions.
Once everything is ready, we'll gather around the table to enjoy the delicious meal we've created together. Your lunch or dinner will also include a fresh seasonal salad, local olives, Albanian cheese, homemade bread, and seasonal fruits, creating a complete and authentic dining experience.
Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or simply curious to explore Albania's plant-based cuisine, this experience offers the perfect opportunity to connect with local culture through food, hospitality, and meaningful conversations.
At the end of the experience, we'll drive you back to your hotel or to our office in Berat, leaving you with unforgettable memories, new cooking skills, and authentic Albanian recipes to recreate at home.
Come as a guest and leave feeling like part of the family.
