What To Expect
This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Maria invites you to her home to share a traditional Greek meal, that will make your taste buds dance! Begin your experience with a glass of fragrant ouzo or tsipouro (anise-flavored aperitif), handpicked Greek olives, Graviera cheese and barley rusks; while Maria shares stories of growing up in Athens and learning to cook as a child in her grandmother's kitchen. Later join Maria in her home kitchen for your 2-hour hands-on Athens cooking class. Learn to cook traditional Greek dishes with a twist. Maria will take you through the step by step process of learning to make a Greek appetizer and a main dish, using her family recipes. She will share tips, tricks and secrets from her grandmother's kitchen so that you can easily replicate these recipes back home.
After cooking, sit down at the dining table to share the dishes you helped prepare.
