Description
Immerse yourself in the authentic flavours and traditions of the Adriatic with hands-on cooking classes hosted by your welcoming host, Darka, at D&D Veyra. Combining the warmth of local hospitality with the art of Mediterranean cooking, Darka invites guests to discover the simple beauty of preparing meals that celebrate freshness, balance, and togetherness.
Each session begins with an introduction to local ingredients — from sun-ripened vegetables and fragrant herbs to freshly caught seafood and hand-pressed olive oil. You’ll learn how to source and select quality produce, understand flavour combinations unique to the region, and prepare dishes inspired by the island’s heritage.
Darka shares her family recipes and cooking techniques passed down through generations, offering insights into the history and meaning behind every dish. Guests are encouraged to cook alongside her, gaining confidence and practical skills that can easily be recreated at home.
The experience concludes with a shared meal where you can enjoy the dishes you’ve created, accompanied by a complimentary glass of local wine. It’s a moment to savour your hard work, connect with fellow guests, and enjoy the relaxed rhythm of island life.
Whether you are an experienced cook or a complete beginner, Darka’s classes are designed to be approachable, engaging, and deeply personal. Each class offers not only the joy of cooking but also a glimpse into the cultural and culinary soul of Vis — where food is not just nourishment, but a way of bringing people together.
At D&D Veyra, cooking with Darka is more than just a class — it’s an unforgettable experience that captures the essence of Mediterranean living: fresh ingredients, good company, and a generous spirit.
