Istrian Cooking Classes – EatIstrias Cooking Studio near Pula

There is no better way to understand a culture than through its food, and there is no better kitchen in which to learn Istrian cooking than EatIstrias Cooking Studio – set within a serene olive grove near the southern Istrian town of Medulin. IN MOTION picks you up from your hotel at 08:30 and drives you first to Pulas vibrant green market, where you meet your chef and hand-pick the ingredients for the day ahead.
