Cook traditional Gjirokastër dishes with a local family, then share the meal.

Lazarat's cooking is simple and warm, built on what the land and the season provide. In this class you step into a local family's kitchen and make some of the area's best-loved dishes with your own hands.
Learn to roll pastry sheets for byrek and make qifqi, a seasonal vegetable stew and a traditional dessert. Your host shares the tricks that never make it into a recipe book.
At the end everyone sits around the sofra to eat what you cooked, with homemade wine or buttermilk.
