Fantastic experience - A very cosy atmosphere, it was like cooking at home with friends. We prepared a set of 6 dishes having great chats and cultural exchanges. The location is very intimate and beautiful, the staff is very nice, friendly and helpful. I was with my 10-year-old kid and we had a great time, strongly recommended.

Personal and homey - We chose this cooking class because it sounded less "corporate" than some of the others, and loved it! Highlight was making lukumades (traditional Greek "donuts") for dessert.

Cooking class in Athens - The evening was excellent. Bill's presentation and pace allowed us to fully participate in preparing the meal. We learned recipes, history and shared a delicious meal introducing our group to Greek cuisine. At the end of the meal, Bill helped us secure a taxi back to our hotel. This cooking class was definitely the highlight of our time in Athens!!
