Very good class for newbies to Greek cooking - This class was very well taught and thorough. The instructor was knowledgeable, fun, professional, engaged with the students, and taught step by step on how to make the traditional dishes. Method of teaching: hands- on learning. He encouraged us to help one another and to ask questions at any time. Highly recommended class for anyone interested in learning how to cook Greek food.

Authentic Greek Cooking Class - Fabulous authentic cooking class in Athens. Despina was a lovely and knowledgeable host whose clear guidance allowed us to make some delicious food. It was really enjoyable to spend a morning with a group of people who wanted to learn more about the culture and eat tasty food.

Authentic Greek Cooking Class - Highly Recommend! - My wife and I took a cooking class with Adonia, who first brought us to a local market to shop for ingredients. During the class, we made stuffed grape leaves, spanakopita, tzatziki, stuffed eggplant, and orange cake—while enjoying wine, water, and fresh melon. Adonia’s warmth, humor, and deep knowledge of Greek cuisine and culture made the experience fun, hands-on, and informative. We highly recommend it - you’ll leave full (with possible leftovers), and with a richer appreciation for Greek food and culture.

Awesome cooking class with the most delicious dinner at the end! - This was a great cooking class. Total people in class were 12 people and we luckily had a great group to interact with- but at the same time felt like we were able to enjoy our family if 4. Thanos was excellent in keeping the group engaged. The market visit was nice, but very hot- luckily the cooking room had some air conditioning to keep us comfortable. We made some authentic, but easy to replicate at home dishes and we were in the end we were surprised as to how delicious the food ( that we made;) turned out- rivaling our favorite restaurant in Athens. We were so full- but the orange cake at the end was ridiculously good. So totally worth it and would recommend wholeheartedly!!!
