Meet your host at James Boucher metro station and begin your culinary journey with a short walk to a nearby local market. Along the way, you'll pass several historical landmarks, where your host will share fascinating stories about Sofia's rich past. This gentle introduction lasts around 20 minutes and sets the scene for the authentic local experience ahead.

Arrive at our cosy top-floor apartment, nestled in a residential building with a panoramic balcony view of Sofia and Mount Vitosha. Here begins your hands-on cooking class!

For the next hour and a half make traditional Bulgarian pancakes using a bubbly sourdough starter. Mix, cook, and enjoy them warm, topped with seasonal local ingredients of your choice. You’ll also prepare fresh homemade lemonade with Bulgarian honey.

As you cook, you'll hear about the health benefits of sourdough and its cultural significance in Bulgaria. While the pancakes are sizzling, taste boutique Bulgarian wine from a small family-owned winery, accompanied by selected local cheeses and cured meats.

End your experience with new flavours, new friends, and a slice of Sofia life.
