Yana is very knowledgable and passionate about food. We learned so much from her -- but not in a formal "workshop" way, rather more like being invited to a friend's home and make dinner together. The cooking was fun and hands on, the recipe was simple, and the food was yummy! We also enjoyed the conversations on the dinner table, learning about Bulgarian life, culture, and food. Hopefully Yana can publish her cookbook soon, I will definitely get a copy! And hopefully also before that, we will be able to make it back to Sofia and cook other recipes with Yana. Warmly recommended.

This is an amazing tour of how to make authentic Bulgarian cuisine! Yana was super friendly and I had a great time. Highly recommend!

You shouldn’t come to Sofia and miss out on this! What an experience! I bought this evening as a gift for my husband who loves to cook and he thought the night was incredible.
Myself, I’m not a big fan of cooking and so was a little apprehensive- but wow- the way Yana teaches, making it easy and fun has changed my opinion! I loved the evening- I can’t believe I made filo pastry 🤣 (for the traditional Banitsa).
Yana’s passion for her country and traditions shines through, she is so knowledgeable and a great story teller incorporating her own experiences from the village where she grew up with information on Bulgarian history. It was so fascinating to hear and learn how to cook the traditional food, and by the time we sat down to dinner it felt like we were sitting down to dinner with an old friend.
The food was delicious and we got to try her father’s home made Bulgarian Raki and paired the dinner with a Bulgarian wine.
It really was a perfect evening.

a wonderful experience with great food and conversation. The length is perfect so nothing feels rushed.
