Learn real Greek recipes and enjoy you efforts. - We had lots fun shopping at the food market nearby and then making dolmedes, spanakopita, two other dishes for the complete meal. Our class was just eight very cordial people from three different countries.

Wonderful experience! - This cooking class was such a treat! I went with my two college-age kids and we all enjoyed the morning. The other people in the class were terrific and we all had a great time making traditional Greek foods together with our teacher's kind help. It was a great way to explore Greek culinary traditions - and it was delicious!

A must do! - Thanasis is the best! We learned so much on this market tour and cooking class and have brought that knowledge (and recipes) home to our family. We had the best time and thoroughly enjoyed his wit and storytelling.

Five Star Class - We were looking to learn about how Greeks prepare their food & the little details that bring out all the flavors that we have enjoyed & so we booked the Greek Kitchen - based on reviews. The lesson also included a trip to the local central market which helped in understanding how to pick the fresh ingredients required for our meal. Our nine (9) person class was immersed in the preparation of every dish & it was so much fun. Our chef Thanasis (sp?) did an outstanding job of explaining everything step by step & made it look so easy in an easy & enjoyable manner - his humor & clear direction made it tremendously memorable. Our five (5) course meal took a little over two (2) hours @ which time we enjoyed the fruits of our labour - so delicious & no one was disappointed. So much fun & hats off to Thanasis. We highly recommend this course to anyone.

Four hours that felt too short! - The teacher was fun, kind, and upbeat. We made food that was easy enough to make at home, but delicious enough to impress our friends when we do!! Such a great way to spend the evening in Athens!
