Highlight of our 2 weeks in Greece - A fantastic experience. Four hours of learning, cultural immersion, laughs, and hands-on cooking experience. Exploring ancient ruins in Greece is great but this one beats it all. It was low season; as it turned out, only four of us in the class that day and we had special attention from our teacher. Now that we're home, we will pull out the recipes they provided and hope to master the lessons. Do NOT hesitate to book this. Wonderful time and we highly recommend.

Great evening coming in Greece - We had so much fun cooking with Bill. Everyone participated in prepping the ingredients to prepare each dish. Bill explained the different cultures influencing the food as well as differences within the regions of Greece. A table was set for us and we were left to enjoy the meal.

Tasty introduction to Greek cuisine - If you have a few hours left in Athens this is a very nice way to get to know Greek cuisine from the kitchen:). Highly recommended. Together 6 delicious dishes made under the guidance of a very nice ‘teacher’ Vassilis (Bill). And then enjoyed all that goodies with a glass of wine in the garden.

Class cancelled on day of class. - Class was cancelled on day of class. Travelling long distance to a disappointment. Not sure whether it was platform issue or the business. Can not recommend based on my experience.
