Greek dinner with outstanding hosts - Excellent option if you are in Thessaloniki! Dora and Michael do not disappoint! It was safe, fun, and we learned so much about Greece. The experience allows you to immerse yourself with a Greek family that offers a unique brand of authenticity. Plus the food was DELICIOUS. Highly recommend!

The warmest Greek family experience ever! - Simply an amazing experience which I highly recommend to anyone staying in Thessaloniki! Dora and Michael are excellent hosts! I consider myself confident at cooking but the tips and methods Dora taught me to make the dishes were exceptional and it was the creamiest moussaka I have ever eaten! Her lovely daughter even got involved! Dora also taught me a traditional Greek dance and Michael taught me a lot about Greek history and the geographical regions too! My favourite activity I have booked in the city by far! Make sure you arrive hungry as i also was given some delicious homemade Greek pastries! Keep doing what you're doing!

Best experience ever! - It was the best decision to book this course. We were given such a warm welcome and we all cooked together and learned a lot of new things. Cooking is simply fun like this. It is definitely worth having this experience.

Authentic Greek Memories - I cannot say enough good things about my experience with this cooking class! It's no lie that the food is incredible in Greece. We spent the afternoon/evening learning how to make a variety of dishes with Dora and her helpful and knowledgeable daughter Daphne, who welcomed us into their home for this wonderful experience. Everything was made from scratch, with local and fresh ingredients. Since this experience, we have brought these recipes back to Canada and have shared these authentic greek dishes with friends and family.

Over the top fun - Fabulous evening with a beautiful family. Not only did I get a chance to prepare and cook moussaka but also got introduced to other Greek dishes that I have tried. Highly recommend this class for anyone wanting to learn about Greek food, see how locals live, and to enjoy life.

Tasty traditional local experience - We were excited to learn how to cook traditional food on our vacation in Greece and this experience exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide Dora, welcomed us into her home where we were instructed by her and her sweet daughter Daphne on a variety of courses. We learned how to prepare a main course, an appetizer, tzatziki dip, salad, and dessert. The view from her patio of the city and the sea. We were warmly welcomed by her family and appreciated the entire experience.

Highly recommended for those who have a free evening in the Thessaloniki area, an evening of fun with a lovely couple and good food - Michael and Dora, our lovely hosts, welcomed us with great warmth and friendliness. We arrived an hour late and dinner that was supposed to end at 10 lasted until midnight and beyond. Dora taught us to cook Moussaka and Halva which is a Greek dessert and made an effort to make a vegan meal for me which is not easy, in the Greek kitchen to cook without cheese and meat. Michael is a tour guide, full of knowledge about every place to visit and also knows all about Greek mythology. We spent an amazing evening of dancing, drinking and eating, we will not forget them. Lovely couple.

Great, enjoyable experience - This was a great experience! We felt very welcome from the start. We were guested by a lovely, warm family who shared their home, knowledge and time with us. We learnt how to prepare multiple Greek dishes from starters to dessert. There was also an opportunity to learn a traditional dance! We then enjoyed the food we cooked alongside traditional drinks. Very personalised experience, would highly recommend. Big thank you again to the family for enabling us to experience this 😁
