Wonderful experience - After a unique experience at the cooking class, we signed up for the baking class as a family with two adults and two children. Like the cooking class, the baking class takes place in a fantastic setting, an olive tree plantation. A sourdough bread was prepared with individual, delicious fillings so that everyone could prepare the bread they love best. You could combine everything to your own taste: for example : Feta, dried tomatoes, olives, sunflower seeds, various herbs, to name a few. The warm hosts create a great atmosphere and as with the cooking class, you have the feeling of spending wonderful time with friends. The time the dough takes was used to explore the large garden and harvest the vegetables for the salad. Once the dough is ready, everyone fills and decorates their own bread until it enters the large oven to be baked. A bean puree is prepared on the side. In all this, the guest is fully integrated, everything is explained in detail. At the end, when the bread came out of the oven, a richly laid table awaited us, with salad, tzatziki, fava and of course “our” bread. In addition, we were allowed to taste various olive oils. For dessert gave a sweet variation of the bread combined with yogurt and pickled fruit. An all-round successful morning, like the cooking class, makes you feel wonderfully cared for and spends a wonderful time.

Wonderful experience, excellent hosts, majestic location! Would totally recommend - Veerna and her brother Kostas were such lovely hosts. We did the sourdough bread class (family of 4) and had such a great time! We prepared some awesome bread loaves and learned a lot about Cretan food, we hand-picked veggies for the salad, enjoyed a proper meal with fava, pork chops, wine, 4 different types of olive oil etc... The location was amazing, a traditional Cretan house in an olive grove, not far from the city. Thank you so much!

Unmissable experience! - Incredible experience with Veerna and Kosta at their farm house. We enjoyed learning the ins and outs of bread making, and using the ingredients they produce at home to make our breads unique. Having it at the end with all the other dishes was a satisfying way to end the session. Thoroughly recommend if you are visiting Crete!!

A Beautiful Introduction to Traditional Bread-making in Chania - My friends and I had the most lovely experience baking bread with Veerna and Kosta. Their beautiful hospitality and warm welcome was unparalleled. Beyond that, we were introduced to Veerna’s bread making techniques through a hands-on experience where each of us customized our breads with toppings and scored the top of the bread with decorations of our choosing. After our bread was baked in outdoor oven, we partook in many mezethes (traditional Greek appetizers). We cannot recommend this experience enough to those wishing to be immersed in traditional Greek baking and the famous Greek hospitality! It was sincerely the highlight of our trip to Chania. We hope to return soon! Thank you Veerna and Kosta! Ευχαριστώ πόλη!
