Amazing cooking experience! - This is an OUTSTANDING experience!!! We cooked amazing food, learned a tremendous amount about Greek cooking & spent the afternoon/evening with Nikki & a terrific group of people! Eating our food outside with the Acropolis as a backdrop doesn’t hurt either.

Great Class with Amazing Meal - I would not hesitate to book this culinary adventure. The class was fun and informative about Greek foods. The cooking instructor was very personable. The food was served outside with an amazing view of the Acropolis. I should mention that you need to plan for an entire evening.

Unforgettable experience! - This was one of my favorite travel experiences in Greece! Katerina was incredible and shared so many great cooking tips. She made the class manageable and fun even for those with no cooking experience. The view of the Parthenon as we prepared the food was unbeatable, and the small class size was great to allow everyone a very active role and the opportunity to make new friends! They send you away with a recipe book so you can make the meals again and again. I would recommend this wholeheartedly!!

I'm a Greek chef now - Katarina led a very fun and informative class! The food was delicious and she was accommodating of all skill levels. The view from the restaurant was really nice and the restaurant serves you your meal outside at their tables with a glass of wine. Was a great experience!

Mixed feelings about class - Food cooked was great and authentic, trainer was wonderful as well!
I was uncomfortable with the overly communal nature of the cooking, and wasn't expecting it. It was somewhat unhygenic as a few of the participants at the table were unwell and coughing into the food prep.
As an example, to make the salad, one participant chopped tomatoes, another chopped onions, another chopped cucumbers, and another tossed the salad with their bare hands. DIdn't think it was necessary to have so many people touch the ingredients... or we could have made individual portions for it to be cleaner.
Participant next to me was not very serious about learning, and did not clear her food waste (lemon peels, leaves, leftover rice etc) so overall after cooking, the food looked and felt unappetising.
