We have attended many cooking classes, but this one was by far the best! Sevi was a fantastic hostess – warm, well organised and with a real passion for cooking. We especially loved the fact that we were allowed to decide for ourselves what to cook. This has made the course very personal and individual. The ingredients were all fresh and high quality, and the food was just delicious. The atmosphere was also great – a colorful, friendly round with great people, in which you immediately felt comfortable. A big plus was that the children were thought of: They had enough space to play and could even feed goats – a real highlight for the little ones! Thank you, Sevi, for this special experience. We will definitely come back!

We just left the farm! This is a phenomenal experience, we felt welcomed into their home. The tour of the farm was great, followed by a fantastic cooking class that allowed us to pick our dishes we got to make. It was really a special experience made even more special by our host. It’s a true family affair.
Wonderful day with Sevi

Fantastic experience, I would recommend to anyone that enjoys cooking and good company. We recreated the dishes for our family Easter Dinner in Alabama and everyone loved all of them. One of our favorite days from our trip to Greece

Sevi was amazing, we had the best time during our excursion. We were on a cruise ship and needed to be back at port by a certain time, and she helped ensure we got back to town. The food was delicious and I cannot wait to try making it all again at home!
Absolutely Wonderful Experience

A favorite experience of our week in Greece! Sevi was so knowledgeable and fun, and she and her family were so warm and welcoming. The farm was only about 20-30 minutes from Heraklion. The experience was a fun mix of learning, cooking, exploring, eating and relaxing. We had family members from 9 to 77 years old, and everyone enjoyed it!
Memorable experience

We had the best experience in this professionally taught class, and highly recommend this to all! We began by visiting the farm and seeing and feeding goats and a donkey. We collected warm, fresh eggs that were just laid by the chickens! We picked herbs to use in our meal. Our friendly and hospitable chef Sévi served us wonderful homemade appetizers, while describing the delectable choices of each portion of the meal, and selecting our favorites to prepare from the menu was tough. The time on task was both thoroughly enjoyable and perfectly timed. It was a special treat making her mom’s dessert under her tutelage. The meal was absolutely delicious, and we loved eating on the patio while enjoying the spectacular view!
Warm, friendly, delicious

Sevi and her mom were absolutely wonderful. It felt like coming over to a friends house and helping with lunch. The orchard and taverna are absolutely stunning. I would have spent my whole trip here if they would let me stay. On top of the dishes being seasonal, Sevi will provide you recipes for all the dishes they offer year round. I could not recommend this experience more!

We had a wonderful time at Baxes, it was our favorite activity that we did during our vacation throughout Greece. I would absolutely recommend this experience and would love to do it again when I return to Crete in the future. As a group, we were able to pick out which dishes we wanted to make - I appreciated how we were walked through each step of the process. The food and wine was delicious. The restaurant is beautiful, plus the family is very sweet and helpful in teaching you how to cook each dish. We also really enjoyed walking around the property and seeing the kitties, goats, and donkey (:
