Welcome to the heart of Lika, where the aromas of home-cooked meals awaken memories, and every flavor tells a story passed down through generations. Our Traditional Plitvice Lakes Cooking Class is not just about learning to cook – it’s a soulful experience.
Join the family in the warmth of our countryside home as we guide you through the preparation of authentic Plitvice and Lika dishes, using time-honored recipes and techniques. But don’t worry – this isn’t a strict cooking lesson. It’s full of laughter, the scent of fresh herbs, the crackle of firewood, and heartfelt conversation over a glass of homemade rakija.
Together we’ll knead, chop, stir – and most importantly – enjoy. Every dish is infused with a touch of the past and our love for this land. And as you cook with us, you become a part of that story.

Meeting and pickup
I will wait for you on the parking lot above the house. You will recognize me by apron that I will wear, and it will be a red apron with our sign "Traditional Cooking Class".
What to expect
Experience the tastes and aromas of the Plitvice region through an authentic outdoor cooking workshop, set in the warm, rustic surroundings of our home.
We begin our culinary journey with a traditional welcome – homemade brandy, liqueurs, and local cheeses. Together, we prepare traditional dishes over an open fire: bread and meat under the bell (lamb and veal), roasted vegetables, a fresh seasonal salad, and creamy polenta. We also fry sweet fritters, served with homemade jams.
You’ll take part in every step of the preparation – from kneading the dough to seasoning the meat – and finally, we all sit down together to enjoy a rich, homemade meal.
This workshop offers more than just food – it brings together people, tradition, and nature in an unforgettable experience.
