This was an absolutely HIGHLIGHT experience of my trip. Giorgio was a warm, friendly , and clearly EXPERT host, and I had an amazing 4 hours there. Delicious, personal, fascinating, don't miss this. HINT: Save room in your suitcase for some of the amazing items they have to take home; I am SO SORRY to have not purchased oil/ vinegar, and one of their wonderful aprons.
Fantastic experience!

Sassy, spunky, delicious! Chef was very hands on and will not let you ruin the dish if you're nervous about that! Very informative, open to questions, and you will have more food than you can possibly eat as well as practical dishes easy to replicate at home.
Fantastic! Got to cook...

Fantastic! Got to cook four authentic dishes and learned about Greek cuisine. It was a few hours well spent and a great way to get to know the local food.

The entrance to the house is beautiful with a gorgeous Bougainvillea cascading with pink flowers. We walked into a quaint area with a large table fro prepping our food. Eleanor was gracious and kind, getting us set up and the chef, Alexandra was warm and welcoming with a wonderful sense of humor. We made several old family recipes handed down to her from her grandmother. We got to do a little cooking in the kitchen with some of the original elements still intact. She explained everything in detail and made us feel right at home. We ate our delicious meal family style in the dining room and had some great conversation with the other participants. We had a wonderful time and I definitely recommend this place for an authentic cultural experience.
Fresh food and fun vibes

Wonderful cooking class! Alexandra and Elinor were fantastic hosts. Learned not just about local cuisine but also a little about the cave house the class was held in. Would highly recommend.
You should absolutely book this! <3

We had the best time! Five of us did this activity with Alexandra as our chef - and she was as much an entertainer as a chef; just a phenomenal sense of humor. :D It was wonderful to learn about the traditions, climate, and culture of Santorini that influenced the dishes we made, and this was easily one of the best things we did on the entire trip. I think about the Tomato Croquettes (tomatokeftedes) almost daily since this class. Thanks for a great time!
