Great Cooking Class!!!!!

5.00This was an amazing class. The chef/hostess, Dionysia, and her husband, Costa, were friendly and welcoming and made us feel immediately at home. We easily learned the different techniques and recipes all while having so much fun. Even my husband, who cannot cook at all, enjoyed learning how to roll filo, make bread, and stuff pastry. This was the best thing we did while in Athens! I cannot speak more highly of the experience.
Fun and Delicious

A Must Do if you Like to Cook!

5.00We had an amazing experience with Dionysia! We were a family of four, parents with 2 adult children in the early 20s. We did the private class that started by shopping at the market. We all enjoyed seeing the variety of shops and learning about how Greeks shop. There were many more stores than we noticed initially. Then, we returned to their location to make our Moussaka. Dionysia was informative and a great host. She provided great instruction and had tasks for each of us. Not only did we make the moussaka, we also made tzatziki, bread and dessert. It was four hours of fun and learning. We would definitely do this again with her if we head back to Athens! It was one of our favorite activities during our 10-days in Greece. We would highly recommend it!!!
Incredible memory from our visit to Greece

5.00This was our second cooking experience with Dionysia- our first was in 2019, and was one of our best memories from our trip to Greece. We kept all the recipes and cooked them often for friends and family. When I booked our second trip to Athens, the first thing I did was was contact Dionysia for another experience and we had the best time learning new recipes and catching up with her and her sweet family. The meals we cooked were truly the most delicious and memorable of both our trips and captured the beautiful hospitality of Greece and the incredible freshness and flavor of Greek produce and food. Truly you should not miss this authentic and special experience while in Athens!
Must do in Athens !!! You...

5.00Must do in Athens !!! You go with the chef to pick your own produce before going to the kitchen to cook. The experience was incredible from start to finish.
Wonderful class!

5.00We had the BEST time!! For the particular class we selected, we got to go with Dionysia to the market to pick up our supplies and enjoyed sampling olives and getting local’s tips. We then came back to her space and spent the entire time laughing and learning how to prepare a few dishes. It was an absolute delight and I would definitely do another class with her!
Everything was perfect & delish. I wouldn't change anything.

5.00The experience is very fun. We were at the market looking at the fresh local products and how to distinguish the best qualities to buy them. Then with those wonderful ingredients, and Dionysia's wisdom, we cooked some delicious typical Greek dishes. The atmosphere is very familiar and you feel at home. Highly recommended if you want to spend some time with friends cooking and trying local delicacies.
Wow, wow, wow!!

5.00This was an amazing experience! Dionysia will make you feel instantly comfortable and welcomed. She was very accommodating and even arranged transportation from the cruise port to the class to help us. We truly felt like we made a new friend! We loved walking through the market with her, cooking together, and especially eating together! Our hearts were full leaving her class! Thank you, Dionysia!
Enchanted experience second only to the Acropolis!

5.00This was one of the highlights of our 4 days in Athens! Dionysia welcomed us with a delightfully casual warmth that truly did make it feel like we were visiting family. She engaged both our 5 year old and 14 year old in the cooking which resulted in our 5 year old eating and LOVING more new foods than I have ever seen them attempt! What an incredible joyful and intimate respite from the grind of being a touring family and the urban intensity. I will recommend the Acropolis and Eat with your Greek Cousin as the top 2 things to do to anyone I know visiting Athens!
