What’s it all about?

Join Sonya for a hands-on Bulgarian cooking class in Melbourne where you’ll learn to make traditional sourdough Katmi pancakes from scratch.

Bulgarian cuisine remains largely undiscovered in Melbourne, making this a rare opportunity to explore the food, customs, and stories of one of Europe's oldest food cultures.

You’ll leave feeling confident and inspired, with a new understanding of sourdough beyond bread. You’ll take home your sourdough starter and the skills to continue making Katmi in your own kitchen.

What will we cover?

What you will do:

Learn the basics of sourdough fermentation and starter care

Learn how to make a fermented pancake batter

Cook your sourdough Katmi pancake

Fill your own Katmi pancake with sweet and savoury options
