Best way to learn and start our trip - Kamala was wonderful! Our group of 3 couples thoroughly enjoyed the walk through Dolac market and then the very hands on cooking class back in her studio. She was knowledgeable, fun and very prepared and organized. Well worth the cost. Great way to start our trip in Croatia and Zagreb.

Wonderful experience (arrive hungry) - Karmela was a fantastic guide through the market! She gave lots if great info about the vendors, their products, and the history of the place. We rode the tram back to her apartment where she guides us through a three-course meal, while her adorable cat kept watch. The food was very tasty and the conversation was fun. This is a wonderful way to learn a few things while getting to know Zagreb a little more intimately.

AMAZING!!! - This was AMAZING!!! Karmela's knowledge of provenance and origin of the food & wine of the region, the origins of Dolac and the market place and the quality of its market food being showcased in the cooking experience itself and then being able to sit down and savour it... this is a MUST DO experience and was a wonderful way to kick off our Croatian holiday! Thank you Karmela and a 6/5 experience. We cannot wait to try out the restaurant recommendations 🙏🙏

This is a must-do for any foodie! - This is a must do for any foodie! We had already done a food tour with Karmela two days earlier, so we knew this was going to be special. The kitchen is amazing and everything is made from scratch with quality ingredients and traditional methods. Karmela is a wonderful cook, host and local Croatian. The class goes for 4-hours and the three course meal and wine is superb. As with the food tour, if I could, I would give this cooking class 7 stars, it is an experience that we will never forget and will always remember Zagreb fondly because of Karmela.
