Overview

If there’s one dining experience that sums up Greek food, it’s meze sharing plates. This small-group class, with a minimum of four guests and a maximum of ten, gets you hands-on and cooking, washed down with aniseed-flavored ouzo. You’ll learn at least seven traditional dishes, from tzatziki and filo cheese pies to stuffed peppers and meatballs, then sit down and enjoy them with quality Greek wine and an Acropolis view.

If there's one thing better than having a great dinner with a view on the Acropolis, it's knowing that you made it yourselves! This class is a great idea for a fun and unique experience - and at the end, you get a delicious meal. Marilena makes it all very easy; we were truly amazed at what, and how fast, we were able to make on our own thanks to her direction. On top of that, Marilena is accommodating, easy to talk to, and will offer scores of local tips and recommendations. And at the end of it, you get the recipes to share the joy back home. Thoroughly recommended.

Great Cooking Experience

Janet_M, May 2024

Our Chef was welcoming, patient and fun! This was a great experience in a wonderful event kitchen space.

Excellent Greek Meze

Peter_S, Apr 2024

Excellent cooking course, packed full of ideas and “how to do’s” for Greek Meze! Our group of 6 people had her full attention of our cooking instructor, who was amicable, informative and, of course, courteous and kind! The afternoon from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. went quickly and we thoroughly enjoyed the food that we helped to prepare. Looking forward to receiving the recipes and have already promised our group that we shall get together in Canada for a Greek Meze evening!

Great Experience

Great food, New friends, Amazing Chef!!

Susan_C, Jun 2022

This was our first cooking class on a vacation and it was AMAZING! Our host was very accommodating, patient and kind for us 'non-cooks' in the class. The food was delicious and we enjoyed eating dinner with new friends from all over the world. HIGHLY recommend!!

Such delicious food with great hosts!

Catarina_D, Jun 2022

Marilena and Katarina are such great cooks, teachers, and helpers. I took this class with my friend, and we enjoyed it very much. We cooked 7 mezze dishes, and I appreciated how Marilena reached out to me 1-2 weeks prior to ask about my favorite dishes. You can see how hard they have to work to prepare for the class but still manage to have fun. They are simply amazing, and so is their food!

A fun culinary adventure!

Lauren_D, Oct 2021

We had a great time. Learned so many recipes that were all really accessible and repeatable. Our hosts were personable and easy to understand. We would go back in a heartbeat!

Great Greek cooking experience

Randy_J, Jul 2021

Our host was amazing. She was very kind and we enjoyed her company. The food was delicious. We made eight dishes and and enjoyed the opportunity to learn simple recipes we will definitely make for our friends when we get home. We did the class together with our 18 year old daughter. Highly recommend

Response from Host, Jul 2021

Thank you so much Randy! It was a great pleasure cooking with you!
