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!!

Amazing & authentic - This was such a great cooking class! I could not believe the number of dishes we managed to cover in such a short (but intense) time. The surrounds were rustic and atmospheric which helped the experience feel authentic. Our hostess was very patient and kind and went at a suitable pace for my teenage children. The fresh produce we used to cook with was so fresh and the end product was delicious. Would highly recommend.

Excellent Experience! - My husband and I had an excellent culinary experience at Mama's Roots. Chef Elena was welcoming and provided a warm and friendly atmosphere. She shared intriguing information regarding the origins of the delicious food that has been passed down through her family. After completing the class, we shared information about Mama's Roots with the concierge at our hotel. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. We look forward to another opportunity to visit and cook with Elena. John & Sherry

Fabulous Experience! - Elena and Joanna lowered the intimidation factor of cooking Greek. We saw that we need to use more spice and more oil!
