COOKING CLASSES ON THE TOPIC OF REINTERPRETING THE TRADITIONAL INGREDIENTS OF RAVNI KOTARI

Published on 30/11/2022 (last modified 30/11/2022)

Within the TAKE IT SLOW project, the University of Zadar has organized a set of cooking classes on the topic of the traditional gastronomy of Ravni kotari as a part of promotional campaign for Adriatic Region’s typical products and services.

The University of Zadar has decided to focus on the area of Ravni kotari and, specifically, on the rich and long eno-gastronomic tradition of this area. Ravni kotari abound in various forms of tangible and intangible cultural and natural heritage, and fresh ingredients and numerous traditional dishes and drinks represent key resources for the development of a quality tourist offer in this area.

Cooking classes were held on November 8th and 9th 2022 in the ‘Zadar Cooking Class’ facility, and were focused on the autochthonous ingredients of Ravni kotari and on the possibility of reinterpreting them into modern dishes that will complement the eno-gastronomic offer of Zadar County. Therefore, the classes were intended for restaurant chefs from the Zadar County area.

Classes were led by the renowned chef Rudolf Štefan, and he showed the participants how to prepare beef tartare, pasta with truffles and šokol (traditional cured meat product) and eggs in šorbul (dish with a soft-boiled egg).
