A unique cooking class in Croatia
Your cooking class will take place in Tatjana’s home, the 13th-century palace in the center of Trogir, UNESCO World Heritage jewel located just 30 minutes north of Split. As you enter the gates into the open courtyard and garden which double for a kitchen, you will immediately sense the magic ahead.
Exercise your senses at Trogir markets
Just like any feast in Croatia, your cooking class will actually start with a visit to the local market. Here, Tatjana will share her secrets on recognizing fresh and organically grown foods and employing all your senses on this quest.
Prepare Dalmatian specialties
In this unique cooking class, you will learn how to appreciate each of the ingredients to their fullest, how to treat them and how to savor their essence. The menu depends as much on the catch-of-the-day at the market, as on your personal preferences, but do make sure to take down recipes, as Tatjana is a culinary artist whose work is always original!
A new appreciation of food – and new skills
This is the true value of an experience with Tatjana – while talking about the Dalmatian traditions, she will recreate your relationship with food so that you truly understand the meaning of the old saying: “Love comes through the stomach’. Well, with Tatjana, it surely does!

In 2005, Secret Dalmatia was started from pure love for Croatia’s heritage, its incredible diversity, and beauty. We have since remained faithful to our initial mission – and are still today a boutique travel agency dedicated to showing the true, wholesome Croatia to the discerning travelers who want to experience our country and all our riches, not just see it.
A bottle of Croatian wine or rose liquor will go far in telling stories, and so will some of the praised olive oils. Keep the memory of the Adriatic alive with salt from centuries’ old pans at Ston or Pag Island or with a sample of Istria’s famed truffles. Lightweight travelers should consider typical spices like lavender or rosemary, herbal teas or candied orange peels and almonds.
