We meet at the Pula city center, and we source the best pieces of fish and meat Pula’s food market can offer. Then we head for our family farm – Scuola (15 minutes from Pula by car), where we are cooking meat or seafood under čripnja (peka), traditional Istrian (Dalmatian) baking method. Čripnja/peka is a baking bell used for cooking over an open fire that dates to ancient times. Čripnja/peka is often made with veal, lamb, or octopus, and are generally served with potatoes and vegetables to suck up the juices. Food prepared like this is neither cooked nor baked, but mixture of both - crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. While we wait for peka to be ready we will prepare an additional dish, usually pasta. It can be something else based on your wishes. This class is 6 hours long.

The scent of sea, of wild fennel, of dry stone walls baked under midday August sun, of heated olive oil on which my grandmother Ana fried eggs, her fragrant and potent sheep cheese, her Istrian pršut and sausages, tomatoes and watermelons, al dente gnocchi with rooster žgvacet or even her homemade wine. This is the inspiration for EatIstria.
On Sundays we charge 25% extra. All our programs are free of charge for children 0-6 years. In case of bad weather preventing us setting open fire, we prepare this dish in oven.
