3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

Step into a true Greek kitchen and experience cooking as it’s done in Greece — with heart, passion, and joy. In this hands-on class, you create your own menu, choosing one pie, one main, one dip, and one salad. Every dish is crafted for your taste, yet guided by the essence of Greek culinary culture: learning to adapt flavors, honor tradition, and make each dish your own.

Cook with fresh, local ingredients alongside a local mom or dad, rolling delicate phyllo, mixing vibrant flavors, and exploring techniques passed down through generations. It’s not just about following a recipe — it’s about bringing Greek flavors closer to you, shaping them with your hands and taste buds.

End the experience with a shared meal where everyone enjoys their creations — whether savored individually or shared with the table. This is more than a cooking class; it’s a journey into Greek culture, food, and the joy of creating your personal feast.
