We had a wonderful evening with Lidjia at her home looking out high over the city of Zagreb—delicious food over four courses, fun and interesting conversation, and warm welcoming home and hostess.

Great time shopping for food in the market and the n we went out of the city into the host’s home in a village around 30 minutes from the centre of Zagreb. We made three wonderful dishes- esp favourite was the cottage cheese strudel for dessert. We had some great coffee, schnapps and wine. Truly lovely day.

The meal was simple but sooo delicious. Can’t wait to try the recipes at home! Dolac Market was so much fun; best sauerkraut ever! Our conversation with our host, learning abt places to go (and not go) in Zagreb helped us decide our itinerary.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience, from picking fresh food from the Dolac Market, to the short drive through the country side with stories & insights into Croatian life from our host. The fun & laughs we had just preparing the food, the aromas of the authentic Croatian dishes cooking culminating in a lively lunch with friendly & amazing people (rocky) made this truly an experience to treasure! Highly recommended!! Absolutely loved it !! Would do it again!

We wish we could give more than 5 stars for the private market tour + cooking class + meal with Zeljka. She was extremely knowledgeable and talented in the kitchen. She guided us in making beautiful dishes that we could easily replicate at home. Even more importantly, she was excellent company. In between preparing the various dishes, we took plenty of breaks for coffee and conversation. She made us feel like old friends visiting her home. We seriously enjoyed the opportunity to get to know Zeljka and through her, Zagreb culinary culture and Croatia. Don't miss out on this experience.
