“I first met Gospođa Tosic four years ago during the difficult days of COVID. She offered me her food, and I was immediately impressed by its depth of flavor and the warmth it carried. Her cooking embodies the spirit of sharing and positive energy, something I’ve never forgotten. Now, I’m excited for you to experience that same sense of tradition and connection.
We are honored to unveil the fourth teaser for our highly anticipated MDG Masterclasses at MYS 2024. This remarkable lady is bringing her rich knowledge and Serbian heritage to us, as she demonstrates the traditional art of phyllo dough making—a cherished practice passed down through generations.
More than just a technique, making phyllo dough represents patience, precision, and a deep-rooted connection to family. With Gospođa Tosic as our guide, we’ll learn how food transcends borders and speaks a universal language of care and tradition. As a special treat, we’ll also be creating burek, the iconic Balkan pastry that embodies the spirit of Serbian cuisine.
In this masterclass, we’ll feel the joy of sharing food, experiencing its ability to unite people through culture and history. This isn’t just about learning a recipe—it’s about experiencing the positive energy and tradition that have been preserved for generations.”
