Culinary Delight & City Exploration

OVERVIEW

Participate in a hands-on cooking class using ingredients from a bustling market that you will visit while exploring the peninsular city center. The Old Town dates to the 9th century B.C. and portions of the Roman-built defensive walls still stand. Zadar has long been known for its outstanding seafood, some of which you will select at a popular fish market for the culinary experience that follows. An acclaimed chef will meet you at the cooking venue and describe the attributes of the local cuisine. The dishes that you will prepare will be determined the day of the class, but they will likely be baked sea bass and mussels alla buzara, in which the shellfish are cooked in a white wine sauce with olive oil, herbs and breadcrumbs. The chef will offer helpful tips for each step so the meal will come out perfectly, making your lunch more enjoyable.
