Immerse yourself in Greek culture with this cooking class! - Our instructor was a wonderful hostess and gave us hands on experience creating authentic Greek cuisine. She also exposed us to different types of Greek music, while we chopped vegetables and whisked batter, to further immerse us in the culture. In addition, because our class was on a Tuesday, we walked down the street during the local fresh market to watch how she choses the fresh produce and seafood for the cooking class.

Top top notch! - This was such a highlight in Athens for me and my son. Elena from MamaRoots is amazing! And her home, turned-into-kitchen is absolutely gorgeous! You will not be disappointed with the food, the company, and the experience. Definitely check out her brother's pottery and culinary earthenware. It is exquisite. Highly, highly recommend this tour for anyone that loves cooking or just loves good food.

A brilliant experience in the heart of Athens. - Fantastic experience. We had a great time cooking and laughing! Food was great too! Location is very central and easy to access. No skill level required. The studio is air conditioned and the backyard where we ate is beautiful and green with plenty of shade.

Cooking in Athens - We had so much fun doing this cooking class in a small group. The ambiance and atmosphere was really a great place to learn at. We made traditional Greek cuisine while drinking the local wine. At the end we were able to enjoy all of the foods that we had made. I would highly recommend it. Also the food was delicious!

An Unforgettable Cooking Experience in Athens - Elena and her mother were inviting, welcoming, and accommodating, and they were just pleasant to be around. The lemonade made from the tree in their yard was absolutely out of this world. Everything, from the ingredients to the final results, tasted so fresh and was easy to make. I definitely want to do it again.

Fun and educational experience - We spent the last day in Greece learning about local food and making delicious dishes from scratch. This experience was very hands-on and educational. The free wine was great for the adults and the small grouping allowed you to meet new friends from other places. My two teenage daughters had a ball. Would highly recommend!
