Lezioni di Cucina a Atene

The title says it all. Vasia is funny and it takes a special type of person to understand her humor. She’s so great!! She deserves to be a viral star on social media and I’m convinced her day is coming (if you know you know - this was referenced in our class) I loved the spinach pie and tzatziki as well as the orange pie dessert. Wow! So delicious. Each dish was prepared as a group and so much fun. I loved the group I was paired with.

The walk through the Athens Central Market was very interesting (and colorful) and a nice way to start the event. The instructions provided by our cook were clear and concise. Enjoying the meal following the lesson was terrific. Recommend this to visitors to Athens that would like to be able to replicate some Greek dishes at home.

My husband and I did the market your and cooking class —we absolutely loved it! A great combination of fun and learning. We made dishes that were not only delicious but easy to learn —a great experience to take home with us. The instructor was the perfect combination of engaging, entertaining and instructive. The class was also well organized and structured. Don’t worry if you have no cooking skills (like me) anyone can do it !

You will be glad your instructor is with you to navigate the markets when you buy ingredients- it's sensory overload in a good way. The class is fun and the food is delicious and healthy. If you love Greek food take this class!

Really nice way to spend a few hours, meet people and eat yummy food.

Had lots of fun, learnt about the culture, great time meeting local shop owners, loved the cooking experience. Our stomachs were filled not just with the food but the love & joy we experience. Thank you

Cooking teacher was terrific. Enjoyed going to the market and the teacher’s commentary was both informative and entertaining. The dishes we prepared were delicious, especially considering that they were not dishes I particularly liked at home in the US. We are planning to recreate the meal when we get home. Overall a great experience!

It is more than I expected. Well organized; everyone get to share in the preparation of the meals. Food was good, took my left over back to the hotel for snack later on. Generous portion. I (and it seemed the rest also) enjoyed her relax and fun demeanors. Hope she will be able to fulfill her dreams of visiting New York someday and teach Greek cooking.

The chef was delightful, knowledgeable, and interesting. It was hands-on and really fun. I was inspired to go home and try the recipes. I have even gone out and bought smoked paprika for one of the recipes (which I don't have at home}. I would love to take the class again when I come back to Athens. Try it! You will have a good time and learn good things to cook!

We enjoyed cooking a few different Greek dishes (and eating them of course!). Great conversation with our chef was a bonus!

My niece and I thoroughly enjoyed the market walk and the cooking class. There were only 4 of us in the class, so we all had an opportunity to participate in making a whole meal. Lots of fun!

We had an absolutely wonderful time with Nick. It was a very fun and engaging class. We really liked that it was very laid back (he was not expecting Iron Chefs or Bobby Flays), engaging and fun. We had a group of people from around the world and everyone had a great time. We started out with a tour of the local markets (deli, cheese, meat, and vegetable) then back to the classroom. He explained HOW Greek food was made and the little hints and tricks to make it "like Grandma did". Motivational cheese breaks and lots of wine kept the class ..interesting. We all sat down at the end and had a HUGE meal (you eat everything you cooked! AND... more wine!). Then he sat down and asked us what recipes we wanted and he emailed them to us! We had a really, really good time.

I learned so much about Greek cooking during the class and I had so much fun doing it! The instructor, Vasia, really made the class for me because she had such a great sense of humor and kept us all laughing throughout the class! I learned a lot and the food was delicious! I am looking forward to re-creating the feast for my friends in my own home. Thank you for a wonderful experience during my stay in Athens! I highly recommend this class.
