Deliciously Fun - A memorable experience. Both seasoned cooks and first-timers will enjoy. It was so much fun and informative. In addition, you get an email with all the recipes. Plus, you'll get to share a meal with people from around the world. You'll want to check out their restaurant (The green Frog) as well, with live music from rock to traditional Zakynthian which really gives you a taste of the island. Ample parking behind the building.

Sensational cooking experience in a beautiful setting - Highly recommended! Alex and his mother Mandy have taught us a lot about Greek cuisine and the history of Zakynthos. The homemade food was incredibly delicious. Who enjoys cooking and likes to try new things is right here!

Best half day spent with team Alex. - Been going to Argassi for a few years but first time to the cooking class at The Green Frog.Best half day spent with team Alex. Very informative about the greek food we were preparing. Nice to get a bit of background/ history about the island too. The food was delicious and plentiful. It's held in the garden and it's beautiful setting. One thing i would say is, don't have your breakfast before you go. Smoothly run class Team Alex , you were all excellent. Would highly recommend the cooking class.Keep up the good work .

Well worth it - Fantastic, learnt a lot about Zakynthos cuisine and the islands history traditions. Alex and Mandy were fabulous hosts. Definitely recommend. Due to bad weather being forecast the class was delivered in the bar. However, it’s normally held in their beautiful garden. This did not detract from the experience. The recipe book followed as promised and we have been recreating some of the recipes at home.
