A great experience! - This was such great fun! And the food was so yummy! The class was very organized and professionally run. The chef shared some great tips on how to shop for the ingredients, how to prep, cook, and we all had a terrific time. She followed up with an awesome set of recipes, many more than we were able to cook in class even! I'd highly recommend this class to anyone!

Wonderful Greece Experience - Great experience everyone enjoyed the class in addition to the amazing dishes we prepared. Recommend allotting more time to find the location due to where it’s located and the navigation doesn’t quite lead you to the correct place. Instructor is very helpful, personable, detailed and makes the class interactive for all. Thank you for sharing the recipes we plan on recreating the dishes soon.

Good food, good fun, great people. - The experience was so fun!!! And the food was great. We learned about the joys of Greek cooking and the wonderful ingredients. Marilena was a great coach, very patient, entertaining, and helpful. It was delightful meeting and spending time with the members of a small group in a beautiful kitchen and the view of the Acropolis made for some great pictures. Thank you.

Nice experience - The meal was great and instruction helpful. The neighborhood is a little sketchy and finding the way into the elevator was somewhat difficult.

Great class okay location - The class and food was excellent. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to take a Greek Cooking class. We took a cab to the location and the cab passed it. And then you have to take an elevator to the 5th floor. It seems a little suspect when you arrive but don’t let that fool you this class is great.

Awesome way to experience Greek culture - It was so much fun and sooo delicious! We made great food, wonderful memories, and new friends. Delightful teacher and assistant- I felt very confident making unfamiliar food under their guidance. The location was a little hard to find; look for the CookinGreece logo, and go down the hallway to the elevator (5th floor). The experience was well worth it. Go hungry and be prepared for a feast!
