Additional Information

Begin your journey in our workshop – it’s an ideal location to deposit any items you don’t wish to haul to the marketplace. Proceed to Varvakios Agora, the central food market in Athens, where your cook will guide you through a shopping spree to procure ingredients, interact with the local sellers, and explore unique spots you might not have come across. While not explicitly a market tour, it counts as an adventure! Once back in our kitchen, the practical cooking experience starts, with you partaking in the food preparation. Your cooked fare will be accompanied by a glass of local organic wine and a shot of Greek digestive spirit. Wrap up your experience with a moment of tranquility: savor your food accompanied by a drink and let us handle the cleanup. We are dedicated to accommodating your dietary preferences, kindly communicate with us using the messaging feature at your earliest convenience to inform us in advance, since we are unable to make adjustments on the fly.

Ioannis is the BEST! - My mother and I did a private class with Ioannis on a Sunday! He was so knowledgeable about the food we made and gave some wonderful stories of the history of these Greeks dishes along with some great laughs!! Wonderful experience! Best experience in Athens!
