Split Cooking Classes are great for all levels and lovers of food and they are designed to give you an authentic taste of Croatian cuisine. Your class will include a vegetable and fish market tour where we will buy our ingredients from the local producers and fishermen (NOTE: classes are also available without the vegetable and fish market tours).
Back in the kitchen, we start the cooking process by tasting local wines and liqueurs and then switching on the tunes while our award-winning chef helps you to prepare the amazing meal. All of our chef instructors have worked in some of the best restaurants in Croatia as well as in Europe so as to give you the most professional cooking experience. You will be learning from some of the best food experts in Croatia!
At the end of your class you will enjoy the meal that you have worked to prepare. Food and wines are included in the price.
Enjoy!

It was a great experience, from buying the fish in the fish market and the vegetables in the produce market, to learning how to prepare different Croatian specialties.
Peter was a patient, lovely host and teacher and we had a great time.
We highly recommend this cooking class to add to your Croatian experience.

Zeljko took us on a tour of Split old town as we went to the vegetable market and then through the palace to the fish market. We learned about the history of Split. We also learned about the local food etc. We walked to the nice professional kitchen and was greeted with refreshment and nice snack. He then got us working to cook for our lunch which was a 8 course affair. We cleaned fish, shellled shrimp, cut vegetable and made bread. It was a great time and we had an amazing lunch. Highly recommended.

This was an extraordinary experience. Jakob is a highly engaging tour guide, and we loved seeing the city and its markets with him. Then he managed to teach and entertain both me (inexperienced chef) and my wife (experienced chef), and we enjoyed an outstanding meal. One of the highlights of our trip to Croatia.

We had a blast at the Split cooking class. From walking the markets, to doing the preparation, it was a lot of fun. And probably the best meal we had on the trip. I am not that big into fish meals, but this was worth it for sure despite doing all the fish preparation. The fish was so tender and light. Thanks so much for an enjoyable outing.

The food was really very good and the cooking school was professional. We started with a short tour of the Green Market and a history lesson. We walked to the school, had a snack and were divided in to two groups. The fish and veggie cooking group was definitely more interactive. Desserts and bread was more watching. It was a great rainy day activity.

We were in Croatia for a week and this was one of the best days we had, which says a lot because every day was awesome. Chef Zhenko was so great. Not only did we get a cooking lesson but the walk to the market was an unexpected tour of the city.
The food was great and the experience was amazing!

We learned a lot from our chefs and finished with a great lunch! It was fun to go through the green market and fish market and then make our way to the cooking school. The chefs had lots of tips for us on preparing Dalmatian foid. We learned a lot and had fun!

Fun morning with a quick tour of Split's farmers' market and fish market. A bit of background on Split as we headed to the cooking school that is located in a neighborhood away from the tourist area. Since only four of us were in the class, we got to do a lot of the cooking. I now know how to clean and prepare squid and octopus. Would recommend this class if you want to do something other than the Game of Thrones tour, and an inside look into how to prepare a typical Croatian meal.

During our visit to Split we were able to register for the split Cooking Class on September 5, 2023. We were met at our hotel by Marin who took us down to the farmer's market by the Diocletian Palace to buy vegetables for our meal. We walked through the Palace to buy fish at the fish market and Marin gave us a little of the local history as we walked. From there we took a 10 minute walk to the Cooking Academy.
Everyone at the Academy was very friendly and welcoming and the facilities were excellent: clean, well stocked and professional. After tasting some traditional liquors, Marin poured us local wines to sample, and began to walk us through every step of the process as we prepared a 5 course meal with 4 different types of seafood, vegetables, a risotto and a desert. Our chef was patient and informative and the whole class was both educational and fun. After everything was plated, we got to sit down to a wonderful meal of the dishes we had prepared accompanied with more Croatian wine.
The class was a great way to sample local cuisine, learn about Croatian cooking and have a hands-on guidance under the tutelage of a knowledgeable chef. This was enjoyable both for experienced cooks (my wife) and novices (myself). A big thank you to Marin and all the staff at the Academy for an excellent class and culinary experience.

Marin our Chef was an excellent guide to Split , it’s history and current ethos, also the Fruit/ Veg and Fish Markets where we bought our ingredients. The two of us enjoyed our two hours of hands on food prep and cooking under his guidance . The array of food we produced in that time amazed us when assembled for our lunch. All delicious. We left with many new skills regarding all aspects of fish preparation , some excellent transferable skills for our everyday home cooking and increased confidence . A most personable and professional young man who deserves to reach high recognition in his chosen career. This experience is likely to remain the high spot of the many wonderful ones we have enjoyed in Split.
