Overview

Slovenia isn’t a country with a widely-known cuisine, and learning about it on your own while visiting Ljubljana isn’t easy. This shared cooking class not only teaches you how to make the traditional dessert of *strukelj*—sweet dumplings with filling—but helps you learn about Slovenian culture firsthand. Discover the techniques involved in this typical dish with plenty of guidance, thanks to the small group size.

10/10 culinary experience

Megan_L, Apr 2025

My partner and I took part in this incredible experience and I could not recommend it enough. Luka was so welcoming and friendly and also incredibly knowledgeable about Slovenia! We had such an amazing time making the strukliji and we will both take what we’ve learnt home having gained the skill - we also got to try an excellent selection of local wine and foods. Such an incredible end to our trip!

Fun fact experience

Fun and engaging cooking class. The guy hosting the class was very kind and shared his knowledge of the culture.

Fun and Delicious

Darrell_C, Sep 2024

Our Štrukli class with Luka was a fantastic experience that we thoroughly enjoyed. Luka’s expertise and clear instructions made the process of preparing this traditional Slovenian dish both fun and accessible, even for beginners. The hands-on aspect of the class, combined with Luka’s friendly and encouraging teaching style, made it a truly engaging experience. Sharing the class with other travelers added to the enjoyment, as we bonded over learning a new skill and savoring the delicious results together. We left with a deeper appreciation for the local cuisine and wonderful memories of the entire experience.

Fun cooking experience!

Lots of fun! Host was very nice. Got to learn more about Slovenia, and also eat some bread with cheese and meat. He also offered beer and wine during the meal. The host is very sociable and we had a great time! At the end he also gave us recommendations on places to see and to eat.

Top notch Slovenian cooking class!

We had a wonderful time at this cooking class! While the location is a little tricky to find, our host send detailed directions and met us right outside. He greeted us with delicious local snacks and beverages and shared lots of stories and local tips during the class. He was an excellent teacher, allowing us to make the Strukelj ourselves but giving us enough guidance here and there to be sure they turned out delicious. Very professional, very worthwhile! Fun to learn a local specialty and will totally prepare at home!
