A Kitchen Among Olive Trees

Embark on a culinary adventure in Istria with a half-day cooking class that blends tradition with modern cuisine. The journey begins with a visit to Pula’s green market to handpick fresh ingredients. Begin your culinary expedition by sourcing fresh, seasonal ingredients from local vendors and immersing yourself in local food culture. From there, you'll be whisked away to the EatIstria cooking studio, nestled in the picturesque countryside near Medulin. This intimate setting, amidst olive groves, is where you'll engage in preparing three courses based on your preference—meat, fish, or vegetables—with one course dedicated to Istria's famed truffles. Whether it's sunny or chilly, the studio accommodates a cozy, intimate experience. Enhance the experience with tastings of four top-quality Istrian wines and three unique olive oils, representing the best of the region's terroir.

This culinary experience is unique for its intimate setting and personalized approach. The cooking class offers an authentic connection to Istria’s rural charm. You’ll participate in a hands-on preparation of a three-course meal, customized to your preferences, including a special truffle dish. Enjoy the fruits of your labor in a picturesque setting. Customization is key, allowing participants to tailor their cooking session to their tastes, including dietary preferences. The inclusion of a truffle course and samplings of Istrian wines and olive oils makes this a sensory journey through Istria's rich gastronomic landscape. Once you complete booking, chat with Nikola to let him know about any dietary preferences or restrictions – or simply share your preferences on spot after the encounter at the green market.
