Delicious and fun foodie experience
This was one of the highlights from our time in Split. Our chef, Petar, was incredible! He met us near the farmer’s market to buy fresh produce for our meals and shared the history and rules of the market. We then stopped at the fish market-a building we had passed many times but never knew what it is until this experience. Back at the academy, we learned how to check that fish is fresh as well as how to clean them. While we cooked, we tasted four different liqueors-walnut, carob, lemon, and elderberry-all delicious! The food we prepared was delicious-baked dorado, sardines, sea bass carpaccio, calamari risotto, grilled veggies, homemade bread, chard and potatoes, salad, and rozata cake. We left with full bellies and new cooking skills to use when we return home.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure spending the day with you, from exploring the local markets to cooking together in our kitchen. Petar will be especially happy to hear your kind words. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Split for another culinary adventure!

Delicious and fun cooking experience
This was FANTASTIC! We loved the visit to the local produce and fish markets to start the tour and learning the history of the city along the walk to the cooking school. We also learned how to clean fish and test that it’s fresh. Our lead chef was wonderful (our class ended up being private), teaching us how to cook sardines, dorado, carpacchio, risotto with calamari, homemade bread, and rozata cake. I highly recommend if you are a foodie and want an authentic Dalmatian experience!
Operator response
Dear Victoria, Thank you for your fantastic review! We're so happy you enjoyed discovering our local markets, learning about Dalmatian food traditions, and preparing the dishes together. It's wonderful to hear that you appreciated the private class atmosphere We hope to cook with you again the next time you're in Split!

This was such an...
This was such an excellent experience. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable, explained everything very well and was fun to be with in the kitchen. I learned how to clean a fish, something that has always intimidated me, and he made it so easy. Our meal was delicious, we made so much food I won’t need to eat again today!

Amazing cooking experience inSplit
We had a wonderful experience cooking wth Bruna on our recent trip to Split. We were fortunate enough to have a private class where we cooked numerous local dishes, the focus on seafood. I learned how to cook risotto the right way, as we were lead by the excellent chef Bruna. We really enjoed our experience with her and highly recommed this cooking class if you visit Split.
Operator response
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed your time cooking with Chef Bruna.
A private class is always a special experience, and we're glad you had the opportunity to dive into local seafood dishes while learning new techniques along the way. Risotto may look simple, but as you've discovered, there are a few secrets that make all the difference!
Bruna will be delighted to hear your kind words.

Great intro to Mediterranean cooking. Hake, shrimp, sea bass and sea bream....
We've taken cooking classes from Greece to Peru. This was one of the most fun and educational classes we've taken. Our chefs were entertaining and informative guiding us each step.
The final product was delicious and filling.
I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
Operator response

Great cooking class experience!
Thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class and our learning and laughing experience. Chef Željko Neven Bremec is a world class chef. He educated us on the food we were about to prepare as as well as the benefit (taste in depth of flavor ) of preparing it according to his recipe. Our entire group enjoyed the meal as well as the process of making the food. It was a fun and uplifting experience. Definitely recommend split cooking.!
Operator response
Dear Patty,
