This is not a demonstration-style class. You will actively cook a complete Greek meal from scratch, using real techniques found in Greek homes
A highlight of the experience is learning how to stretch and roll handmade phyllo pastry — a traditional skill rarely taught in most classes.
Menus are flexible and based on seasonality and guests’ preferences, so each class feels slightly different, like a real Greek kitchen.
What makes this experience special:
• Fully hands-on cooking — you cook, not just watch
• Small groups (maximum 16 guests) for a personal experience
• Prepare a complete Greek menu (6 dishes) from scratch
• Learn authentic techniques, including handmade phyllo pastry
• Relaxed, friendly atmosphere
• Enjoy everything you prepare with Greek wine
At the end of the class, you will receive the recipes so you can recreate the dishes at home.
Feel free to contact us if you need a different start time or have any dietary restrictions.
Children aged 12 and older are welcome.

This is a fully hands-on experience where you will actively take part in preparing a complete Greek menu using fresh ingredients and traditional techniques. A highlight of the class is learning how to stretch and roll handmade phyllo pastry for a classic Greek pie, a skill rarely taught in most cooking classes.
Together, you will prepare 6 traditional dishes, which may include tzatziki, stuffed vine leaves (dolmadakia), Greek salad, a homemade pie with hand-rolled phyllo, a seasonal main such as moussaka, pastitsio, chicken with lemony potatoes or gyros, and a traditional dessert such as baklava rolls.
The class is designed to be fully hands-on while keeping a smooth and enjoyable pace, so you can focus on the key techniques and the cooking process.
After cooking, everyone sits down together to enjoy the meal, accompanied by Greek wine and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
The class takes place in a bright cooking studio in central Athens with a nice Acropolis view and is designed as a small-group experience (maximum 16 guests), so everyone can participate actively.
