A beautiful evening of delicious food and fun! - This excursion was excellent! The home/class environment was wonderful, so cozy and we had plenty of room to cook together. Bill was so hands-on and let us do all of the cooking with him. We had 6 different recipes and all were delicious. The evening went by so quickly and we were laughing, enjoying each other and stuffed as we left the home. I can highly recommend this tour...you will not be disappointed.

Great class - This was a great cooking class and the instructor was superb and had a lot to share. We got to help in the food preparation and enjoyed a delicious meal at the end of the session. The food preparation and garden dining areas are beautiful. We were fortunate to be able to tour the Tuesday market before the class.

MUST DO IN ATHENS! - This cooking class was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. Our host Bill was so welcoming that it honestly felt like we were stepping into a friend’s kitchen. It's a private cooking class so just our family and Bill, which made it even more special. We made a ridiculous amount of dishes (that were delish) and were so full we couldn’t even finish everything. The wine was fantastic and kept the laughs coming. 😉 We thought four hours might feel long, but the time flew by. Between the amazing food, the stories Bill shared (also, the advice for the Greek islands he gave us: thanks Bill, the mojito guy on Sifnos was amazing), and the relaxed atmosphere, it was worth every single cent. If you want a real taste of Athens in every sense of the word, put this at the top of your list.

A Magical Experience - This is a slice of heaven on a plate. Do not hesitate to book this cooking class. My husband and I just made 6 authentically Greek dishes, with plenty of time for questions and explanations. We cant wait to bring this home and share it with our family and friends. I have take many cooking classes and this one was as good as the best of them. The garden was beautiful and the class space was magical. Will speaks great English and was an excellent teacher.

So fun and great wish to experience Greek food - Mama Roots is in a nondescript building on a neighborhood street in Athens. The door opens to a lovely peaceful garden and the location where we cooked is in a 100 year old building. We had a great time making 3 appetizers, a salad, a main and a dessert with wine. Billy was a great host and provided excellent instruction.
