Croatian Culinary Experience

Croatian Culinary Experience

In Croatia, and anywhere for that matter, cooking and eating are an important role in everyday life. What's fascinating is how different cultures treat this as a necessity or as an art in itself, the latter is no different in Croatia. Spending the day on a traditional, organic farm with a local family, you'll learn to prepare and cook a range of delicious dishes that you'll enjoy with a glass of wine at the end! Challenge yourself and be like a local - dobar tek!
