Overview

Step into one of Gjirokastër’s oldest neighborhoods and into the warm, welcoming home of Teta Marjeta — a local cook passionate about sharing her culinary heritage. This hands-on cooking class invites you to learn traditional recipes, sip homemade raki, and enjoy a cozy meal prepared with love and local ingredients.

What You’ll Experience:

Warm Welcome in the Old Bazaar: Meet your host at Çerçiz Topulli Square and walk together to “Pazari i Vjetër”, one of the most charming and historic areas of the city. Upon arrival, enjoy a welcome drink — raki made by Marjeta’s husband or one of her homemade soft beverages.

Hands-On Cooking Class: Under Marjeta’s guidance, you’ll prepare three traditional dishes:

  • Osa – a local-style pasta served with chicken
  • Qifqi – unique rice balls found only in Gjirokastër
  • Hasude – a simple yet delicious dessert

All meals are complemented by a seasonal salad prepared by Marjeta herself.

Shared Meal: After cooking, sit down with your group and hosts to enjoy the fruits of your labor. The meal is served with your choice of wine, raki, or a soft drink — and plenty of good conversation.

Take-Home Recipe: Before you leave, you’ll receive a printed recipe so you can recreate these dishes at home and bring a taste of Gjirokastër to your own kitchen.

  • Why Choose This Class:
  • Authentic Home Setting: Cook and dine in the real kitchen of a local, not a studio.
