“Flavours of Kalamaja” is a monthly hands-on cooking event, taking place in the kitchen of the Kalamaja museum.

People meet once a month to make delicious dishes, sometimes using local historical recipes and the guidance of current and former residents of Kalamaja.  At these events we socialize in Estonian as well in English if needed.

These events can be attended with a ticket purchased in advance.

September 2023. As part of the programme of the Days of National Cultures, Maris, Saskia and Thiago from Café Brasil on Volta Street were  bringing a taste of Brazil to Kalamaja Museum for a special cooking evening. For the cooking event in Kalamaja Museum, there are two exciting Brazilian dishes on the menu: Brigadeiro and Pão de queijo. Brigadeiro is a traditional and one the most popular sweets in Brazil. It is made of condensed milk, butter, chocolate and sprinkles. Pão de queijo, which means “Cheese Bread”, is a delicious snack from Brazil made with tapioca flour (gluten-free) and cheese. On almost every Brazilian date you can find pão de queijo on the table: golden balls of cheese with a crispy crust, chewy and cheesy center, it is probably the most famous export food in Brazil.
