This is the most authentic cooking class in Tirana, set in one of Albania’s top traditional restaurants rather than a tourist style venue. Here, you’ll cook the true Albanian way using the sac, an age old method where dishes are slowly baked under hot coals, instead of a modern stove. It’s a genuine cultural encounter that goes beyond a simple class, offering you real flavors, real techniques, and a warm connection to Albania’s culinary soul
