Traveler reviews
Great Greek Cooking Experience
Our chef Costas was great! He was very knowledgeable and funny, very easy to get along with and made people of every skill level feel welcome. 60% of the class was him guiding us through preparing communal ingredients like filings and sauces. He did ask for various helpers to chop and stir, but was very low pressure and encouraging. 40% near the end was him guiding us through assembling our individual dishes. If you intend to remake the recipes, take notes as you go. PDFs of recipes are sent via your booking info, but they are very basic and do not include important details. We made extensive notes to ours from memory immediately after the class so we wouldn't forget. It would be nice if paper copies were provided in class as well.
A Fun Cooking Class with A Great Chef
The four of us had a great experience cooking and chatting with a wonderful chef and guests. The chef was also quite tolerant of my cooking skills and was an excellent instructor! After several hours of prepation, we enjoyed our meal with a nice selection of wine pairing (extra charge) with a view of the Acropolis. Need I say anymore? This was a really fun experience. If you go, you're in for a memorable evening.
Many interesting information
Spiros was absolutely great. We really enjoyed his personality and all his knowledge. We really learned a lot of new things about the Greek cuisine. Although we would have preferred to actually do more than just stirring and chopping. It’s a lot of standing and listening. Also not a single drink is included. We cooked not on a rooftop but in a cellar and the dinner was on a rooftop but the acropolis was not visible.
Superb!
Very well organized and well paced activity. Kitchen was clean and efficient. Recipes were a good representation of Greek cuisine. Among the very best travel experiences in decades.
Simply the Best!
Fantastic class! Spyros sustained a fun, inviting and interactive environment from the moment he greeted us until he said goodbye. Everyone participated, accommodations were made when possible and we truly learned how to prepare the delicious dishes at home. The best cooking class I’ve participated in yet!
