Best Greek Food, Made by Me!

5.00What a fantastic evening!! The dinner was very organized. We seasoned the meat, made spreads, pitas from scratch and learned how to properly assemble and roll gyros. Our hosts were, funny, kind and shared so much knowledge about Greek food, customs, and culture. We are so happy that we made time for this experience. Thank you!!
Coeliac safe, fun and delicious cookery experience.

5.00Tonight we were welcomed to the fabulous cookery experience with Dionysia and Kosta. I don’t want to say “class” as it was like being around the family table, learning traditional Greek dishes and cooking with a fun friend. We have been to cookery classes before, but this was by far the best and different to others. We learnt lots of new skills and everything we ate was made from scratch and the joy of eating the food that was prepared and cooked in our group was deeply satisfying. The pitas, gyros, bread, local cheeses, dips and simple (yet delicious) desert meant we all left completely stuffed!! The drink flowed too and it really felt like you were cooking in a family kitchen. I am coeliac and Dionysia was very thorough in her communication and her dedication to food safety, preparation and separate cooking areas meant I was very safe. She even made me a loaf of the most delicious gluten free bread for our arrival. It’s so nice to feel so included and relaxed in the safety of a talented chef. Overall this was a real highlight of our Athens trip and would throughly recommend to everyone, even those who have an intolerance, allergy or dietary need. I will certainly be making what I learnt back home to impress my family. A perfect activity.
Best Night of our trip

5.00My family of 4, husband and I and two young adult sons loved this experience. Dionysia and Costas were delightful and warm. They taught us how to make the pitas, the gyro meat, the sauces and a dessert. Drinks were included as well. Their studio was clean and organized. The food was delicious but the experience even better. We highly recommend this to anyone. So much fun!
Feel Like Family

5.00You'll feel like family! We went to the 5:30 PM class in March. It may not have the views or roof-top experience that many other cooking classes offer, but you will laugh, drink, eat, drink, and eat until your heart and every other part of you is content! I'd do it again.
An Amazing Evening in Athens

5.00My group, a large group of 32, did a cooking class with pork/chicken gyros, dakos salad, tzatziki, pita, and a Greek cheesecake dessert. The experience was absolutely amazing; everything from the friendly staff (our new Greek cousins) to the food itself made for such a great way to spend an evening. If you’re looking for good food and some knowledge you can take home with you, this is the place. It’s also good to mention that the experience comes with recipes available upon request, so that you can apply what you learned back at home!
The Comfort of Family

5.00Minas and Costas were excellent instructors and they made me feel like family! I have gone to many cooking classes around the world, and this was one of the best. They shared recipes that their grandmothers made for them, and with simple ingredients I was able to recreate wonderful flavors. I cannot wait to make the dishes for my family. Thank you for making my experience in Athens so special and memorable!
Greek food fun

5.00This was great fun. Dionysia and her small team kept it interesting and 'hands on'. You eat what you cook (plus olives, wine etc) and there is plenty of it. Dionysia makes sure what you cook is edible! Her commitment to Greek cooking and Greek agricultural produce shone I must add that this was a class on New Year's Eve. The class ran a little overtime, with some members arriving late. We were never hurried along even though we were the last class on New Year's eve.
Highlight of Athens

5.00This was the highlight of our excursion in Athens. Experiencing authentic cuisine in such a fun environment made for an unforgettable time. But the best part was how accommodating they were to our gluten and dairy allergies. We never missed out on any part of the experience and felt like we were taken care of from the minute the class began. If I could do a class with them on every vacation I would. We have since recreated the dishes we learned with great success and continue to enjoy the memories food and the memories. Thank you for everything!

5.00This Gyros Cooking Class was an absolute delight! From seasoning the meat perfectly to grilling and making fresh pita, everything was so tasty and hands-on. The instructors were warm, welcoming, and shared tips that made the cooking so enjoyable. We laughed, tasted as we went, and felt like part of a big Greek kitchen family. The flavors were incredible, and every bite made us smile. If you love meat, flavor, and a fun cooking experience in Athens, this class is perfect!
