Delicious Appetizers & Beautiful Setting

We had a wonderful time! The market tour was replaced with a stroll through Anafiotika, where Natalia shared stunning city views. The class was more about prepping than full cooking, but rolling grape leaves, meatballs, stuffed peppers, and spinach pies was so much fun—and everything tasted amazing. The garden setting to enjoy our food was beautiful. Highly recommend, just note it’s more appetizers than entrées.
Nice time was had by all!

The cooking class was fun-we learned quite a few tricks-Mara and Natalia were very friendly-could have done without the market tour-most of the shops were closed and the stalls were empty-we didn’t get any of our ingredients there.
