One Day a Local Way

A Local Life Experience, One-day Cooking Class, Dalmatia and Slavonia

Is there anything better than a good cup of coffee to wake you up fully in the morning?  Well, at least most of the Croatians think so. You see, Croatians made an art out of drinking coffee, to be precise the art of enjoying it. The whole point is not only about the coffee, it is more about being with friends and family and it may last for a couple of hours.

For starters, in this program, we shall have a good cup of coffee (or tea, if you prefer) as Croatians regularly do, and use this nice, easy going time for deciding what to cook and making a list of ingredients. Your menu will depend on the season and the fresh ingredients available.

The next step would be going to the market and doing  some shopping.  In Dalmatia you will pay a visit to pazar (the fresh food market) and peškarija (the fish market) with your Dalmatian host. In Slavonia it will be pijac, e.g. Osijek pija in a local slang. You will also meet local butchers, bakers and locals selling veggies and fruits from their gardens. After this experience you are about to have more fun preparing a typical Dalmatian lunch and have an authentic konoba experience or a typical meal prepared in Slavonia on one of the estates there. Depending on the time of the year you can participate in apple picking too.  Do not get too loose over orahovica, travarica  or šljivovica – the typical spirits from these parts,  ‘cause the lunch you will have will be the lunch you prepare 🙂
