We had an amazing time preparing a variety of seafood dishes. We learned great new cooking techniques and loved hearing the inspiring story of the Fonda family. Highly recommended!
Irena’s dedication to the sea, the environment and the produce we worked with is truly remarkable and takes this experience to the next level. I’ve always been somewhat apprehensive when it came to handling fish but through this workshop I gained knowledge that empowered me to venture into cooking with fish more. Did I mention that the workshop took place under a pine tree by the sea? The authentic surroundings made the time stand still while we worked on our food which turned out absolutely delicious. Loved every minute of this experience.
We had a wonderful experience at this master class about fish and the farm. We learned so many new and fascinating facts — it was both educational and inspiring. Everything was beautifully arranged, very tasty, and presented with genuine hospitality. The atmosphere felt warm, kind, and truly home-like. What impressed us most were the many unique insights, as our host – Irena is a real professional who shared her knowledge with passion. Highly recommended!
