Overview

With the help of your native host, you'll discover the unique flavors of the Bulgarian cooking while learning about the traditional ways of life. As part of this class, if the weather allows it and if it is a working day you may visit a local market, choose exotic ingredients and learn to cook 3 typical Bulgarian dishes.

You will learn to cook 3 of the typical Bulgarian dishes - for example bread, cheese pastry, hot pot, dolmas, etc. I will create the menu according to your cooking skills and your personal preferences.
In case the weather is fine and it's a working day, we will do together the grocery shopping in the Woman's market and I will explain about the Bulgarian products and traditions. The goal is to achieve new cooking techniques and to understand better the Balkan's culinary.
After the class is finished it will be food tasting - lunch or diner.

I had great time taking the cooking class with Mariela. The experience started even before I arrived to the kitchen. I contacted her on WhatsApp and together we decided the time of day for the class, as well as tailoring the the three course menu to my preference. I got to learn a nice technique to slice an onion and loved the roasted vegetables salad. In addition of being a patient mentor, Mariela is an interesting person to talk to. Let her tell you about her vast experience as a cook, hotel manager, real estate person and her travles round the world. On the down side, we ended up with dishes to big for a single serving. That's the disadvantage of being a solo traveller. Also, the whole activity starting at the grocery store and ending at the dinner table took more time then I expected. Started at 4:00pm and said goodbye at about 9:30 pm.

Mariela was so generous with her time, experiences, history of Sofia and friendship. Of course the cooking was superb, delicious and left us wanting more.

We were confirmed for Oct 25, 2023 & when calling to confirm reservation we were changed to October 26, 2023 which did fit our schedule. This didn't allow time for cancelation for refund so now battling for a refund since we were not able to take the class.
