Delicious food and a fantastic Albanian experience! - It was great to have Sindi’s expert advice when making each dish. It will help us to be successful in cooking the dishes at home. There was a convivial atmosphere and a spirit of generosity over the entire afternoon. It was lovely to meet Sindi and the other participants and to join everyone in conversation.

Top notch! - I’m a solo traveler and coming to this cooking class made me feel as though I was being welcomed into my favorite long lost Albanian relative’s kitchen (mind you I’m not even remotely Albanian… I’m an American of Irish descent so this really says something lol). Sindi was so warm and inviting and there were a couple other gals taking the class too so it immediately turned into a fun girls night. I learned a lot about the culture, the food and wine was absolutely delicious, and the conversation was even better! I highly recommend this class if you’re looking for something fun to do while in Tirana! Sindi is the best!

You too can cook Albanian! - Booking this was a great decision and provided a memorable experience. Our host Sindi was prepped, professional and peppy. We enjoyed all of the delicious dishes and the snacks and the wine and the coffee! You won’t need dinner after completing this cooking course. It is suitable for all levels of cooking experience and is a great way to learn more about Albania in a different way. I highly recommend this experience!

Preparing great food and drinking delicious wine in a great atmosphere - We did the class with a group of 4 friends and had an amazing time. Sindi is a lovely host. She strikes a great balance between guiding you through the preparation and letting you figure it out for yourself. Great sense of humour, delicious wine, and all around a great atmosphere!

Welcoming cooking class - I had the best time with Sindi. She’s amazing, funny, and makes everybody welcome. Plan a little more time, as you will have some bottles of wine, do everything from scratch and have a good time with the others in the group! 🫶🏻
