Guided by experienced chefs or local cooks, students will gain hands-on experience in the kitchen, discovering the flavors, textures, and cooking methods that define the country’s cuisine.
The workshop encourages teamwork and collaboration as students from diverse backgrounds come together to create and share meals. Through this shared experience, students will not only develop practical cooking skills but also engage in meaningful cultural exchange, learning about the food traditions of their peers while sharing their own culinary practices.
Designed to be both fun and educational, the workshop also provides an opportunity for students to build confidence in the kitchen, whether they are beginners or experienced cooks. Along the way, they will acquire useful tips, learn about healthy food choices, and expand their culinary vocabulary, all while enjoying the camaraderie of fellow Erasmus students.
