Highlight of our Athens trip - Chef Thanasis was fantastic; he made the class so much fun and entertaining. He involved everyone and by the end of the class we all felt like friends Food was so good! We learned a lot about Greek food as we prepared it because Thanasis explained everything as we went through each ingredient. Highly recommend!

A fun afternoon - A wonderful afternoon immersed in Greek cooking. Highly recommended. We had two teenagers in our party and they also enjoyed participating. Our host Despina was warm and attentive. Enjoyed the camaraderie with the other participants in our small group and sharing a wine and the food we prepared together.

Diverse foodie fun! - This class was an incredible experience! Starting off with a quick market tour to pick up ingredients was a refreshing and helped build up the camaraderie with the class. Once we started with the cooking, everything was entertaining and fun! It wasn't just sitting and cutting. We were all working together and telling jokes and making the class a super fun way to learn. We made a variety of dishes that were all delicious. My favorite was definitely the orange pie. The smell alone was incredible. I highly recommend this class to everyone visiting Athens!

What a blast! - This was such a fun and super informative experience. I learnt far more than I expected and had a blast trying new techniques! I am nowhere near an experience chef/cook but felt extremely comfortable and confident following their clear guidance. Thank you for a wonderful experience! :)

Grand Time Cooking - So much fun touring thru the meat and vegetable markets. Then we went back to studio and made 5 Greek dishes for lunch. We also met 4 other travelers to share the experience with.

Amazing way to spend an afternoon! - I took this class when I first visited Athens for a month back in 2021 and it was incredible; I would make many of the recipes for friends afterwards. When my husband and I decided on Greece for our honeymoon, it was one of the first activities we decided to do together. The instructors have been with the class for many years and are so warm and kind! You will enjoy the class and leave with a full stomach!
