Description
Visit a local market on weekends to pick fresh produce and spices, then cook authentic regional dishes in a cozy, hands-on kitchen experience.
Begin your culinary journey with a visit to a lively local market, available only on Saturdays and Sundays. Explore fresh produce, aromatic spices, and traditional ingredients unique to the region, while learning about their cultural and culinary importance.
After the market (or directly on weekdays), step into a warm, welcoming kitchen where you'll prepare a selection of authentic regional dishes using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The highlight of the class is creating a special herbal rice, a fragrant and flavorful dish rooted in local tradition.
