Ioanna has been a food editor and editor in chief for more than 20 years. She is a passionate cook and pastry chef, who loves writing about food, creating new recipes and making cooking videos. She is most excited to share recipes that you will not find in restaurants - she calls them the hidden gems of traditional Greek cuisine. Also, she has been on a quest to revive traditional, local recipes that have been forgotten over time. Cooking traditional Greek and Mediterranean food and sweets for friends and family is something Ioanna has enjoyed over the years, and now she would love to share her passion and knowledge with travelers visiting Athens.

What to expect

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Join Ioanna for a Greek cooking class in Athens and learn to cook a traditional Greek meal. While you cook, she will share interesting tips and tricks mixed with historical facts about the dishes you're preparing. Your cooking class will last about about 1.5 hours and you will cook two dishes together. Either learn to make a seasonal salad and main - xtapodi me kofto makaronaki (octopus cooked with sweet Samos wine, herbs and pasta) or stuffed eggplants (with tomatoes, onions, garlic, peppers) or then a dessert (orange flavored halva using semolina, olive, oil cinnamon, anise and oranges). The menu is seasonal and will change depending on what is fresh and locally available in the market. After cooking, join Ioanna at her beautifully decorated dinning table to enjoy the meal you helped prepare.
