Summary: What a blast! We’ve been to Split a few times and are always looking for new, fun ways to enjoy an evening out. Our 4+ hours spent at the Split Cooking School was definately our best evening. Chef Željko and Sous Chef Darko were fabulous, funny, and very patient teachers. Their English was perfect. There were 6 of us, so we decided to pay the extra fee for a private class because of Covid, otherwise we would have had fun with others too, it was that type of setting. Chef Željko put everyone at ease right from the beginning with homemade brandy, some very nice wines and chitchat. Then we got to work, so many laughs, but we got everything kneaded, scaled, cut, mixed, boiled, and baked. The end result was a very memorable evening. Oh, and bring your appetite because the food was delicious and plentiful too, if I do say so myself.
