Our cooking class will make the authentic Greek Moussaka dish and Spanakopita pie by opening your phyllo pastry (Spinach pie).

We will make two classic traditional pies: Spinach pie and Milk pie. In addition to making homemade pies, we will prepare Greek island-inspired salad with cherry tomatoes aromatized with aged local vinegar and Greek yogurt tzatziki sauce.

Our kitchen is a few steps from Monastiraki square in the funky neighborhood of Psirri. I'll wait for you there, on the rooftop terrace with Acropolis views.

We'll start preparations and chat to break the ice and talk about Greek and Mediterranean cuisine; then, I'll show you the ingredients we'll need.

Then the cooking class can begin!

When we are finished, we will cook, eat, and savor our food together with amazing views of the Acropolis monuments and Parthenon temple lit at night and the vivid center of Athens overlooking the dome of Aghios Dimitrios church.

This class was so much fun! Our instructor, Chef Stamatis, was great. He was very knowledgeable yet made everything seem easy. Of course the best part was sitting down to enjoy our creations while looking at the Acropolis lit up at night. Highly recommended!
Perfectly fun and tasty!

Spyros lead us in such a fun cooking class! This was definitely one of our favorite things we did during our week in Athens. My husband and I actually just scheduled a dinner party back in the States and we plan to recreate our menu from the cooking class. It was so delicious and fun, we highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Greek cooking class. Our chef and instructor, Stan was delightful and extremely knowledgeable about Greek food. There was time for our group to participate and we loved taking recipes home with us. The food we prepared was delicious and the opportunity to sit and enjoy it with a view of the Acropolis at night was the chef kiss.
An enjoyable experience...
