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.

We had a great time at Tore Toit - thoroughly enjoyed cooking some Estonian dishes with a lovely group of people. Reilika was a wonderful host and gave great instruction. There was also a lovely space to sit and enjoy our meal and have a good chat. We enjoyed trying some Estonian beer and rhubarb cider too. So glad we booked for this experience while in Tallinn and would recommend it highly!
It’s really great to learn about local food and culture from a local and to taste great food with like minded people. We all cooked in one kitchen, each pair had dishes to make that we would sit down and share with everyone later on. It felt like cooking a family meal together. Our tutor was very knowledgable and answered all our questions and told us about her family traditions and where to go to eat good Estonian food.
It was a great time of cooking and socializing. It was so great to hear about Talin and enjoy a meal at the same time.
I would highly recommend this experience. It was so much fun we actually spent about three hours there.
Wonderful wonderful! Not only was it fun to learn to make Estonian dishes, we were treated to insights into the food culture of Estonia from the personal perspective of our host. HIGHLY recommend
What a fantastic experience! We made a full course lunch, main, sides, bread and a delicious cake for dessert. The recipes were the host’s family recipes. You don’t need to be a great cook. The host makes it easy and she’s there every step of the way. Sign up immediately!
My daughter and I love cooking and fancied trying an evening of Estonian cooking. So glad we did! We had great fun, learned a lot about Estonian food and culture, made some really delicious food, and got to eat it together with a lovely group of fellow food enthusiasts. Highly recommend this activity but make sure you arrive hungry as there is a LOT of food. We plan to make some of the dishes for our family and friends back home in Luxembourg. Thank you!
Such a great experience. Our host was knowledgeable and friendly and coordinated everything perfectly.
We had a great time walking and learning about the bog with Beret. It was a very unique experience out of the city.
This was the highlight of our trip in Estonia. Fun evening of learning to cook and bake traditional Estonian dishes. The setting was lovely and our host / instructor was an absolute delight. I highly recommend this experience!
This activity fit neatly into a day in Tallinn leaving lots of time to explore the city. The hostess was prepared, charming and down to earth. She chose typically Estonian dishes that are otherwise unavailable in local restaurants. We had a first course, and a second which were delicious. The event was a perfect balance of food preparation, eating and visiting with our hostess. We highly recommend this activity. She was excellent at explaining every day life in Estonia.

Absolutely amazing! I loved the food we cooked and it was such a treasured experience to cook and have a meal as a group. There was a great energy and it was everything I was looking for on my travels!
We really enjoyed our cooking class with Relika. It was a very relaxed afternoon and felt like we were cooking in someone’s home kitchen. The homestyle recipes were simple but delicious.
Highly recommend this cooking class. The place is in the beautiful old town and the host is wonderful.
Our small group made for a wonderful hands on experience. We used recipes handed down from generations. Our chef was enthusiastic and engaging as we learned how these recipes reflected her family’s life changes from a Soviet to and independent Estonia!
Loved our cooking class, which ended up being private, thankful wasn't canceled. Learned not only about Estonian home cooking but also what life was like growing up during Soviet rule. It was very informal, helping fix the meal and then sitting around a table, eating and chatting with a friend.
An amazing cooking class my husband and I took. We needed up staying and chatting around the table for an hour, and it was a great experience!
A must do while in Tallinn! Reilika was such a wonderful chef and hostess! I loved that we experienced local dishes. Reilika had us prepare dishes that she would serve if you came to her home. Learning about the food and culture was truly unique. We felt like we were in the countryside having a meal at her home. I highly recommend this experience!
I had a wonderful and relaxing evening with a very delicious meal. Thanks for the warmth. I felt very comfortable.
