More Than a Cooking Class

In Bosnia, burek isn't just food—it's a ritual, a family tradition passed down through generations. Every spiral tells a story of patience, skill, and love.

I started Burek Masterclass to share this tradition with travelers seeking authentic experiences. Here in Mostar's Old Town, just steps from the famous Stari Most bridge, you'll learn the art of hand-stretching phyllo dough so thin you can read through it.

This isn't a performance. You'll roll up your sleeves, get flour on your hands, and leave knowing a skill few outside the Balkans ever learn.
