Great cooking experience! - Beautiful experience. The setting was breathtaking from the castle, and the people were so kind. The group that we cooked with also made the experience so much more enjoyable! They were great with my kids as well and everyone was able to partake. The food itself was the icing on the cake! I definitely recommend this as a great activity to partake in.

It was awesome - I recently joined a cooking master class with mana Nina and her family in Berat, and it was one of the most memorable experiences of my trip to Albania. The hands-on experience was fantastic: kneading, chopping, and tasting as we went. Everything we cooked together turned out delicious, and sitting down at the end to share the meal felt like the highlight of the day. This master class was not just about cookin. itt was about connection, hospitality, and experiencing Albanian culture in the most authentic way possible. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Berat who wants more than just sightseeing. It’s an experience I’ll always cherish.

Unique evening - The cooking class with Nina and her neighbor Michael was a great experience. There were 6 of us, cooking delicious Albanian food together and eating afterwards. The view from the castle and the outdoor kitchen were great. The two were very nice and we had a very nice evening. Really recommendable!

Lovely and fun cooking class! - Awesome cooking class! Could not recommend more. The nicest people, very sweet, interesting and interested. Lovely conversation and great food. Outside kitchen where you cook local dishes. Great location inside the castle walls, they picked us up and brought us all the way up by car. Nina is a great cook who’s lived here all her life. If you do only one thing in Berat, do this!
