Charming Santorini gastronomic experience

Richard_L, Oct 2023

Petra Kouzina has it all: Lovely people (the whole team), with a beautiful story, cooking wonderful food in the most gorgeous home you can imagine. Everything was wonderfully well prepared for a stimulating, engaging and fun few hours of cooking with this fantastic team. We learnt some brilliant cooking tips, prepared some delicious food and enjoyed a delightful meal on the terrace in terrific company with our fellow guests. We were also very pleased to take a recipe book and some quality ingredients and utensils home with us, so the memories live on. Do not hesitate to book this experience!

One of my best experiences to date

Jody_L, Oct 2023

One of my best experiences to date. They were super professional, helpful and clean but also down to earth! The food was top notch and I was throughly impressed. They were also excellent to relax and converse with. I couldn’t be more happy with this tour. Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Jody! Thank you very much for visiting, I'm so glad you found us and decided to join us in our cooking experience. It was a pleasure having you in our home.

Eat, drink, and be merry

Linda_S, Sep 2023

Come prepared to drink, eat, cook, and be cheerfully evaluated. George is very knowledgeable, funny, and as exacting as you would expect a professional chef to be. His lovely wife, won’t attempt spelling) was as charming and as gracious as George. Do not eat in the morning if taking afternoon class. Their assists were lovely too, Linda, and a gentleman who’s name I missed over laughter.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Linda! Thank you very much for joining us and for sharing part of your vacations in our kitchen. It was great to welcome you and hope we meet again one day.

What a wonderful time my husband and I had learning to make classic Greek dishes here! It was definitely the highlight of our trip. If you are second guessing if you should do this, don’t hesitate and book it. You will not be disappointed. It was the perfect sized group with such nice people. The food tasted amazing and we left with amazing memories!

Angela_V, Jul 2023

Paula and George were amazing hosts. We had so many laughs while learning how to cook delicious Mediterranean food. I’ve been to quite a few cooking classes and this one is by far my most favourite. The entire staff were generous with their stories, explanations, laughs and even wine! I couldn’t recommend this class enough.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Angela, thank you very much for visiting us and for taking the time to leave us a review. It was a pleasure to welcome you in our home.

Highly Recommend!

hayley_p, Jun 2023

Fantastic day with an adorable family. The food was fantastic and the class was very fun. A couple of the dishes we watched the chef make and did not actually make them ourselves, but we did learn good cooking habits, tips, and skills while watching him. We would highly recommend going to it. We had a blast.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you for visiting us!

Amazing

Melissa_G, Jun 2023

We loved it! George, Paola and Lena were so lovely and passionate about their work, and made sure we had a great day in their beautiful home. We learnt how to make some delicious fresh dishes, enjoyed plenty of Greek wine and had a wonderful meal on their beautiful terrace.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you so much Melissa. We are glad you enjoyed and that we could share with us all our secrets for that great Greek cookery!

Dont miss this

Daniel_B, May 2023

What do you get when you mix an excellent chef and a stand up comic? George, your host for this must do experience. If you find any enjoyment in cooking this is a cant miss event. The setting is amazing, and lunch after making your dishes is a highlight. Spoiler alert, this will make your subsequent dining experiences in Santorini pale. The secrets are in the details, and George is generous with the details. His wife is your host and is the perfect foil for George. Bon appitite.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Daniel, Thank you so very much! Loved to have you in our home.

The best experience / food in Greece!

KATHRYN_J, May 2023

What a gem of a find! This is truly the best experience in Greece. If you’re looking for an authentic Greek experience, go no where else. You simply can’t go to Greece and not have this experience. Not only was it the best meal we had in Greece but Paula and George are simply the best hosts with the most amazing staff. We immediately felt like family. The whole day was fun and enjoyable and the food was out of this world. Everything was so healthy and natural that even though you got a lot of food (and wine!) you didn’t leave feeling weigh down or gross. I love seeing people be passionate about what the do and Paula and George are just that! 10/10 recommend this. It’s something you can’t put a price on.

Response from Host, May 2023

I can't thank enough this amazing review! It was such a pleasure welcoming you in our home and sharing our cookery with you.

Do not miss this cooking class!

Tracy_L, May 2023

Best. Experience. Ever. The hosts, food and hospitality were absolutely wonderful. We will be coming back!

Response from Host, May 2023

Tracy! And we will be waiting for you to cook together again. Thank you very much for visiting us!

Wow, just wow!! George...

Lisa_K, May 2023

Wow, just wow!! George and Paula open up their beautiful home and share their love of cooking, food, wine and people. Amazing experience and the food was delicious. Highly recommended!!

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you so much Lisa! It was great to welcome you in our home and cook with you.

MUST DO in Santorini

AMY_O, May 2023

This cooking experience was one of our favorite activities in Santorini. George and his wife welcomed us into their home, where they taught us how to make some fabulous Greek recipes. Everything was perfectly set up to easily enjoy your time and learn some traditional Greek meals to make at home. You enjoy the items you prepared in a beautiful outdoor setting. They send you with a cookbook of the items made and we will definitely use them at home. It is a unique experience which was enjoyed by the cooks and non-cooks in our group.

Response from Host, May 2023

THANK YOU!!! For visiting us, for sharing with us and for enjoying it. It was a pleasure to welcome you in our home.

Yummy food, great vibes

Gray_A, Nov 2022

What a fun experience!! I was a solo traveller and wanted to experience cooking real Greek dishes. I felt right at home with a large class and endless wine whilst cooking! And the dishes were so delicious!! Giorgos was fun and a joy to learn from and it was a pleasure to experience all the love and passion he has for his food and culture. 100% recommend if you’re visiting Santorini.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Gray! Thank you very much for your feedback and more than anything for visiting and cooking with us.
