Knowlegde, good preparation and hospitality - It was a very great experience. Veerna and her brother prepared everything very good. Veerne gave the cooking lessons with a lot of love and knowledge of the history and origin of the plates. They both created a very good atmosphere in the group so that we have had a very good time. Thank you once again, Veerne and Costas, for your hospitality, great work and cooking tips.

Superb Greek activity and meal - Veerna's cooking class was amazing! It was my sister's milestone bday and both our families got together to make and enjoy a greek meal together. We had kids, requested a vegetarian menu, nut free (due to my son's allergies) and the class delivered a superb dinner! We prepared vegetarian moussaka, dolmas, stuff peppers, and squash blossoms, spinach cheese pies and honey cheese pie. The bruschetta rouska sp? And taziki too. Veera was so kind and engaging with the kids. Truly a memory we will cherish forever. Will be sending all my friends to experience this activity in Greece.

Best Authentic Cooking Class! - My husband and I recently honeymooned in Crete and enjoyed Veerna’s cooking class on our last night in Chania. We had the best time learning about the history of Cretan food, walking step by step through a delicious meal, and spending time with Veerna and her family that supported us throughout class. It was truly the highlight of our trip and would love another opportunity to cook and spend time with Veerna. I’d highly recommend this class

Excellent hands on cooking class - Excellent experience!! Very hands on class making traditional Cretan food with some history as to the origin of the dishes. Lots of good food and fun company. Very accommodating for any food needs (vegetarian or vegan). You will leave knowing how to make delicious dishes and will be stuffed (and you can take leftovers).

The best cooking class experience! - This was the best cooking class we have ever had. Veerna and Kosta were amazing! They offered us the famous Greek Cretan hospitality. They were so welcoming. We loved the new kitchen where they had everything set up for us. Everything we made was with fresh produce from their garden and made cooking these Greek Cretan delights so easy. I cannot believe I actually made my own phyllo dough from scratch. We made so much food that we had to take home in containers they had ready for us. Everything was super delicious! Can’t wait to try these recipes at home. Thank you, Veerna and Kosta for such an amazing time!!

The Greek Martha Stewart - Verna is the Greek Martha Stewart! We had a lovely time cooking with her. We did a private class which was a nice because we had so many good allergies and she accommodated all them.
