Estonian cuisine Cooking Class

This Estonian cooking class in Tallinn was an absolute highlight of our trip. Reilika was a warm, welcoming, and incredibly engaging host who made the experience both educational and fun. We learned how to prepare traditional Estonian home cooking, including hearty barley bread, classic potato salad, roasted blood sausage with potatoes and sauerkraut, and a delicious layered gingerbread dessert with red currants and berries. Beyond the food, Reilika brought Estonian culture and history to life with fascinating and often amusing stories about growing up in Estonia during the Soviet era. Her passion, knowledge, and sense of humour made the class feel personal and memorable, not just instructional. We’ll be sure to remember the golden rules of potato salad (no carrots or onion and mash the egg with a fork!!). :) Everything was well organized, hands-on, and delicious from start to finish. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting an authentic taste of Estonian cuisine and culture.
