Learn how to cook like a PRO in a week.
Digital nomads are constantly on the go and rarely have time to settle down fully. Which is why many of us have lost the routine to cook or work on our skills and learn new recipes. This one week program is suited for digital nomads with various levels of cooking skill.
From 8 am to 5pm you will have time to work in our modern, spacious and bright coworking space with bulletproof internet (100mbps), and in the afternoon you will have cooking classes.

The chef
Our chef has more than 15 years of experience working in top restaurants and embassies both in Serbia and internationally. He is passionate about taking the ordinary and turning it into something extraordinary.
The course
This course is for beginners and beginner intermediates and it lasts 7 full days.
The mornings and early afternoons will be left to you so that you can do you jobs without interruption, and the classes will take place in the afternoon. Each day, you will learn a new recipe, which is both relatively easy to make but also makes a great impression once you serve it to your friends. Along with the new recipes you will learn knife skills, cooking tips & tricks and shortcuts to save time & effort while cooking.
The course size is 12 people so that our chef can take care of all of you equally.

The food
Most of the food we provide to you during the cooking course will be sourced locally with focus on purchasing from the locals who treat their food organically. The meals will be healthy and carefully balanced with all the food groups. If you are a vegetarian or a vegan, special recipes will be provided for you.
The space & the stay
Our space is currently nominated as one of the best coworking & coliving spaces in Europe, in fact, if you would like to help us out, vote here for Mokrin House. Our modern estate is carefully designed to fit all the modern needs, but our rural setting allows all our guests to positively isolate themselves and recharge their batteries. We have a 5* rate from our guests (we send out a survey to all our guests) and you can also check out both our Google and Facebook reviews.
All our guests during the cooking course will stay in modern double bedrooms with private bathrooms.

The course will take place from 11th of December to the 18th of December!
