Roshnik: Traditional Albanian Cooking Class & Farm Experience

Step into the calm Albanian countryside and spend a delicious morning in Roshnik, where cooking feels less like a lesson and more like being welcomed into a family kitchen.

Your experience begins at 11:00 AM, meeting your local host and cook, Ardit, and his mother. After a warm introduction (and a quick look at what’s fresh today), you’ll head to the outdoor kitchen and roll up your sleeves. With hands-on guidance at every step, you’ll learn how to prepare traditional dishes such as byrek (homemade pie), fërgesë (pepper-and-cheese stew), or roshnicë (a local meat-based specialty), plus plenty of practical tips you can actually use again at home!

Once your dishes are on their way, you’ll take a short walk to the organic farm to pick seasonal vegetables and fruits. It’s one of those simple moments that makes everything click: the ingredients aren’t “farm-to-table” as a slogan, they’re literally coming from the garden to your pan.

Finally, you’ll gather outside to enjoy the meal you helped create, surrounded by the peaceful setting of Roshnik. If you’d like, you can also spend some time exploring the village after your meal for a slower, more immersive finish.
