Start strong with a one-day, hands-on beginner cooking course in Sofia led by Chef Nemigenchev. In 8 focused hours you’ll learn essential techniques, kitchen organization, and safety so you can cook confidently at home.

What you'll learn
We focus on the skills you need from day one. You work step by step and understand the “why” behind each technique, so you can apply it on your own after the course.

• Safe knife handling and core cuts (vegetables, meat, and more).
• Heat techniques: sautéing, blanching, boiling.
• Sauce and cream fundamentals—structure, consistency, and flavor balance.
• Workstation setup and prep planning for cleaner, easier cooking.
• Hygiene and safety as an integral part of the process.

How the day runs
The day is practical and logically structured, moving through key categories to build a solid base.

• Stocks and soups as foundations for many recipes.
• Starters and mains with attention to technique and sequence.
• Desserts—principles for reliable creams and refined finishes.

Each step is clearly explained so you develop a feel for balance, texture, and aroma—not just how to follow a recipe.

Who it’s for
Ideal if you’re a complete beginner or want to organize your knowledge and cook more safely, neatly, and effectively at home.

What you take home
You work with provided ingredients and equipment, and you leave with the recipes and a certificate—plus practical tips on cookware, essential pantry items, and an efficient home setup.
