Learn classic Bosnian dishes in a small Sarajevo home kitchen, with Herzegovina wine and a panoramic welcome, plus recipes you can remake.

“If you are looking for an authentic cooking class in Sarajevo, I highly recommend taking the class with Mersiha. Mersiha and her partner Mustafa are adorable people who share their experiences, home, and love for cooking with so much passion. While cooking, laughing, and eating together, it felt as if we had known each other for a long time. Cooking Mersiha's dishes at home will always remind us of this unforgettable day in Sarajevo and the warm hospitality that we received. It is an experience that lives on in our memories and in our kitchens. Thank you both so much!”
