I’ve rounded up the food walks and cooking classes that show what Albanian kitchens actually do. Tave kosi, baked lamb under a yogurt crust, is the national dish, and many classes begin with a shop through Pazari i Ri market. Raki tends to appear uninvited; accept the glass.
Discover authentic Albanian cuisine with this 4-hour Tirana cooking class, featuring traditional dishes, homemade wine, and raki tasting led by passionate local hosts.
