Another in a series of cooking classes is behind us. The place of action was a small picturesque village in the countryside, and we are talking about Vižinada.
We always enjoy cooking classes, when we see the smiles on the faces of the participants, who are often not even aware of how much fun cooking can be.
When we add to that the energy and experience of the head chef Deniz Zembo, who has traveled the whole world with his dishes, it is often an experience that is remembered for a lifetime.
3 unforgettable dishes
The menu well represented the combination of local cuisine with a modern twist. The first in line was the local hand made pasta “pljukanci”. The participants were not just observers, but with a little help from chef Deniz Zembo, they made their own pasta in the form of the popular pljukanci. A fantastic addition to the pasta was ram steak, previously aged for two weeks in a vacuum.
What followed was a real gastronomic treat, and it was beef cheeks. Celery and potato puree went perfectly with them.
What would be a dessert without chocolate
Dessert completed the story, and this time it was about baked chocolate. The same one went with white chocolate and lime cream and raspberry sauce.
Two local wineries
What would a gastronomic experience in Istria be without wine? Weak, we agree, so this time we hired two well-known local wineries, Franc Arman and Giulio Ferenac.
Attendees enjoyed a large selection of wine varieties: malvasia, chardonnay, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, sparkling wine and merlot.
