Great Experience! - We (family of 4) had an amazing time at the cooking class. We were welcomed into our host’s home where she made us feel comfortable. She’s worked at multiple Michelin starred restaurants - great chef and great teacher. We enjoyed learning more about Greek culture and the proper way to make Souvlaki. We highly recommend.

Absolutely perfect! - Knowing our family, we didn’t want a super long cooking class. This was perfect! It was just our family of four. We were made to feel like part of the family in the best way. She’s worked for Michelin restaurants and shared her knowledge as to why she uses certain ingredients over others. She even had corn pita which my GF daughter LOVED (we all did!). And now we have some more recipes to add to our Greek family collection. Highly recommend!!

Overpriced experience - I decided to book the cooking class in Greece with my boyfriend because we were excited to learn authentic recipes from locals and have a unique culinary experience. The hosts were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home while cooking on their grill. While the class may be perfect for those who don't consider themselves cooks, as someone who enjoys cooking, I found that it didn't offer enough hands-on experience. The price of $261.86 was a bit steep, especially when factoring in transportation costs which brought the total to over $350 for a basic dish like souvlaki. I believe that the price could be more reasonable or include additional menu items such as a salad, fried potatoes, and dessert to make it a more complete cooking experience. While we did get to chop vegetables and participate in some grilling, I felt that the process was a bit rushed and the food wasn't cooked or seasoned to our liking. Overall, it was a fun experience but could use some improvements to make it worth the cost.
