Istrian vegetarian cooking class
Istria, the picturesque peninsula on the northern Adriatic, is known for its stunning landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culinary traditions. Being a poor area for a long time, the Istrian cuisine was short on meat, so many traditional dishes are vegetarian/vegan or can be easily made.

So, for those seeking a more immersive experience, a Vegetarian Cooking Class adventure in Istria offers a unique opportunity to connect with the region’s culture, starting with a visit to a local farmers market and culminating in a cooking studio nestled within a tranquil olive grove.
Cooking class Istria
The day begins with a visit to a bustling farmers market in Pula. Here, you’ll be greeted by vibrant colors, enticing aromas, and local vendors passionate about sharing their harvest with visitors. Walking through the market, you’ll discover fresh, locally-grown produce, aromatic herbs, artisanal cheeses, and other Mediterranean delights.
Cooking class vege ravioli and fuži
After exploring the market, you’ll be transferred to a nearby hidden gem – a cooking studio within an ancient olive grove. Surrounded by olive trees, this tranquil haven offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Under the guidance of the chef, you’ll roll up your sleeves and embark on a hands-on cooking experience. With the market-fresh ingredients you picked up earlier, you’ll learn to create a delightful vegetarian feast that celebrates the flavors of Istria.
Cooking class vege artichokes
For this class, we make this sort of dish: maneštra – thick, beans-based soup, creamy risottos or kinds of pasta with vegetable or mushroom-based sauces, in spring – wild asparagus in every possible way… Or, we give meat-based local dishes a vegetarian twist using items such as seitan, tofu, or tempeh. It depends on your taste and the availability of ingredients.
