ピック・ユア・プレート、クック＆サヴァー - アテネでギリシャ料理教室

Wonderful experience! The food was great, and the teachers were very friendly!

We were lucky enough to enjoy this cooking class as a couple with a wonderfully warm host. He is from Athens himself and runs the class as a family business, and you can feel that from the very first moment. He even picked us up personally out on the street and made us feel welcome right away. A real highlight: we could put together our own menu. Vegetarian options, allergies or any special requests are no problem at all and can be mentioned in advance. We chose two dips, a spicy feta dip with peppers (tirokafteri) and a creamy skordalia made with potatoes, garlic and olive oil, followed by a dakos salad, Spetsofai Express as our main course and three different kinds of bougatsa for dessert. He guided us through every step with great patience, and we learned so much about authentic Greek cooking. His English is excellent, so everything was easy to follow. Besides the cooking, there was lots of laughter. The atmosphere was so relaxed and familiar that it felt like being at a friend's home. If you're in Athens and want to not only see Greece but also taste it, this class is an absolute must. We would come back in a heartbeat!

The experience felt just like walking into a Greek home. While we selected the menus, our host went above and beyond showing how to maximise everything we had prepared for the other dishes and turned them into extra plates. I wanted to highlight to my young adult children that good food does not need to be expensive as long as you start with fresh, quality ingredients and prepare them in simple, but classic ways. The dishes were straight from a Greek grandmother’s kitchen, balanced, and delicious. My kids now have a deeper appreciation for Greek food and will remember the trip long after the photos are deleted, because every time they have tzatziki, spanakopita, feta, orzo, or baklava they will have the memory of this trip. I want to thank our hosts and tell them job well done!!!

It was an amazing experience. My wife and I came here on our honeymoon. The food we made was wonderful and delicious. The company and direction provided to us by the staff was exceptional. Minas and Viselis ( I hope I spelled that right) were awesome hosts!

My sons bought this cooking class for my birthday and it was the highlight of our time in Athens. Both Minas and his beautiful aunt Ava could not of been kinder or better teachers, we made an incredible amount of food with beautiful fresh ingredients and the whole time felt at home and relaxed. I have done a lot of cooking classes and this one will definitely stand out as one where we had a lot of fun while learning some new techniques and going home with recipes that I will definitely be able to use in my kitchen. I would recommend this to both cooks and novices and would love to come back and try another class.

In the week before the cooking workshop we received an extensive email in which we could indicate which dishes we wanted to cook. So the anticipation had already begun. On location we were warmly received and started making dough for the spinach and cheese cake. We made a liver recipe, 2 different dips and a salad. Everything was well explained and shown. The atmosphere was super cozy. Eventually the table was filled with dishes and we had a great meal. It was a great experience

Such a wonderful experience from start to finish. We felt incredibly welcome — it honestly felt like cooking at home with friends. The food was absolutely delicious, made with amazing ingredients, including homemade products and incredibly tasty fruits and vegetables from their own local producers. Everything felt authentic, warm, and full of care. We also loved that we could take the leftover food with us afterwards. We truly loved the experience and highly recommend it to anyone visiting!

Wow! What a fun day spent cooking with friends! From the pre activity communication to the adaptability of the class, the team at Eat With Your Greek Cousin makes the whole experience personalized and unique! A group of 9 of us were able to pick our menu ahead of time and even with some dietary restrictions we were all able to make dishes that were delicious! The layout of the class was engaging and fun and we learned so much!

We had such a wonderful time! It felt like we were with family and loved the company and the ease of the class. I would definitely recommend this class if you would like to meet a wonderful local family that share pieces of their family food and stories. We learned a lot and laughed a lot. It was a great experience and the ingredients were freshly prepared and tasty.

Dionysia and her family welcomed us as though it were their home. We truly got a sense of how fundamental the preparation and sharing of meals is to Greek culture. Ingredients were fresh and sourced locally - many from family and friends (including the wine and olive oil). Best of all, Dionysia was extremely accommodating of my dietary restriction. I have celiac disease and she went WAY above and beyond to ensure that there was a gluten free equivalent for each dish and that there was no cross-contamination. I learned how to make gluten free bread, phyllo dough (two ways!), and she even had gluten free orzo. She also made a special effort with our 13-year old, who said afterwards that Dionysia was her "new best friend."
