Such a great experience learning about Croatian foods and traditions while making Strukli! The market was closed for Election Day so we got to also make strudels while the strukli was in the oven. Everything was delicious!

Zagreb culture and cuisine

hembreee, Dec 2024

Our wonderful guide/teacher was very knowledgeable, with regards to both cooking, as well as with the cultural and historical aspects of Zagreb. Her facility was very professionally organized, with an atmosphere of warmth and family. Truly a great experience to share with my daughter.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Dear Elesa and Sidney, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on my strudel-making workshop. It was a true pleasure to host you and guide you through the process of preparing our traditional dish. I hope you’ll feel inspired to recreate it in your own kitchen.

Great experience making a national favourite

Krystian_J, Jun 2024

A great, personal experience. We cooked the Strukli at Karmela's house since the studio is undergoing work until July and it was perfect. She's very knowledgeable and patient, and the market tour let us try some national favourites. As a bonus, she even helped us book a restaurant she recommended for dinner and generally went beyond expectations.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thank you, Krystian, for the detailed review of your experience. It was a pleasure to host you in my home and teach you how to make štrukli.

You owe it to yourself to learn to make Strukli!

Peggy_O, Oct 2023

Karmela was delightful and an excellent instructor! Strukli has a rich history and we learned exactly how to make this delicious dish…the school Itself is fresh and attractive…highly recommend for foodies!

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Hello Peggy, I first want to apologize for the delayed response—it must have slipped through the cracks. I’m truly grateful for your recommendation and for the experience of preparing štrukli that you took home as a keepsake.

Authentic experience taught by a passionate teacher, sharing beautiful and diverse flavours!

Stephanie_D, Sep 2023

We had an incredible authentic štrukli making class during our time in Zagreb. The instructor is very kind and knowledgable, and her passion for food and authenticity shines through as she teaches. We also had the incredible opportunity to taste food samples at the local Dolac market, and feel more connected during our stay in Zagreb by learning about its rich history and diverse local flavours. We also had the chance to relax and enjoy what we made with an included bottle of wine, had an amazing time!

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Hello Stephanie, thank you so much for taking my cooking class and for this detailed review. Thank you for that extra effort, it is highly appreciated.

Great experience and a way of learning a little more about Croatian cuisine

Claire_C, Aug 2023

We had a lovely morning - it was wonderful learning how to make strukli and see the market. Also really appreciated being given the recipe so we could make it again once we arrived home.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you Claire for your lovely review. I hope that you will prepare them with your whole family. All the best to all of you in the future.

A great time!

This was a wonderful experience! Karmela is a patient teacher-she has a lovely manner about her and the best part was sitting around the table and eating and talking! Totally worth it!

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Dear Sarah, thank you for your lovely words. I appreciate it a lot.

Learned the technique of stretching dough, which I didn't fully understand before. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thank you James for the review. I hope that you will try it again at your home.

A great morning in Zagreb

Jacky, May 2022

Hearing how our teacher learned to cook from her grandmother. Rolling out the filo was fun and interesting.

Response from Host, May 2022

Thank you, guys. It was great fun and enjoyment to have you in my cooking class.

Incredible Experience of Food and Culture

ClareB, Sep 2021

My friend and I participated in this experience and here's what she said to me afterwards: "Throughout all my travels, never had I had this behind-the-scenes perspective where I actually participated in making the new flavours I was trying. I had SUCH a great time." And so did I. We were so impressed by Karmela's knowledge of local and international cuisine, history, geography and the people, regional differences in ingredients and colourful stories of cooking with her grandmother. We were completely entertained and engaged throughout the entire tour. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience. Thank you, Karmela!

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Wow. Thank you so much for your great review of your štrukli cooking class experience. I enjoyed sharing my knowledge with Denise and you. I hope to see you again.

Amazing!

Noy_A, Sep 2020

I have enjoyed very much! And the štrukli was delicious! The guide is very nice and she knews English

Response from Host, Sep 2020

Thank you Noy and Shir for coming to my cooking class. I enjoyed it as much as you are.

Highlight unseres Aufenthaltes

Bettina_K, Apr 2025

Ein Highlight unseres kurzen Aufenthaltes in Zagreb. Mit Karmela haben wir das Markttreiben viel intensiver erlebt. Die Erklärungen waren sehr interessant und kurzweilig. Dann die gemeinsame Zeit des Kochens in dem wunderschönen Studio...Karmela liebt, was sie tut und geht ganz besonders in Verbindung mit ihrern Gästen. Das Essen war ein Traum und die gemeinsame Zeit viel zu schnell zu Ende. Danke, dass wir dich kennenlernen durften und wie versprochen, sollten wir jemals wieder in Zagreb sein: für einen Kaffee mit dir haben wir immer Zeit. Danke für dich, Hardy und Bettina

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you for your kind words. It was a real pleasure meeting you and enjoying some quality time together. The coffee invitation still stands whenever you're next in Zagreb. All the best to both of you.
