What To Expect
Step into Dragana’s home in Belgrade for a private, hands-on Serbian cooking class and discover the food she grew up eating. Learn to prepare traditional dishes as Dragana will introduce you to Serbian ingredients, cooking traditions and the everyday food culture of her family. For an even deeper introduction to local food, add an optional visit to Banjica Green Market.
In your 2 hour hands-on Serbian cooking class in Ripanj, a suburb in Belgrade, learn to make two dishes from scratch. Dragana will teach you how to make prebranac (baked beans) or sarma (Serbian stuffed cabbage) or pilav, and while that cooks learn to bake proja (traditional Serbian cornbread).
