Top Class Workshop, Top Class Host, Top Class Food and Drink - Absolutely recommended. I spent five and half hours in delightful company, which was helped by having loads of food, wine and raki. There was plenty of water there too! Sindy led through a number of dishes - her instructions were easay to follow and she was on hand to lend assistance when required. The end product was delicious and plenty of it. The wine and raki, made by her Dad was ever-flowing and most palatable. A great afternoon's entertainment, with the benefit of being fed and "watered" at the same time. You also get the opportunity to meet people from all over the world, Top Class. Top Tip: Do not have lunch beforehand.

Fantastic Cooking Class – Fun, Informative, and Delicious! - We had such a great time at this cooking class! Sindi was not only a good cook, but also brought a great sense of humor that made the whole experience really fun and relaxed. Even though the atmosphere was easygoing, we learned a lot and came away with new skills and recipes. The food we made was absolutely delicious, and she went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed not just the class, but our whole stay in Tirana. Highly recommended!

A great cooking experience. - Sindi was a welcoming host and gave a very clear and concise guide to cooking Albanian food. Home-made wine was great (and plentiful), and raki was also offered. We made three Albanian dishes with Sindi's guidance. Met friendly and interesting people, and had the chance to talk when the food was served. Altogether, this was a great way to spend an afternoon.
