This is a must do experience when in Athens!!!! Aspasia not only let me in to her apartment for a cooking class, but made me feel at home for a cooking experience!!! 😋 I had such a wonderful time with her as she walked me through making a simple but authentic and delicious Greek meal. We made stuffed peppers, stuffed eggplants, scrambled eggs and tomatoes, Greek meatballs with yougart dipping sauce and dessert of rice pudding!!! For someone who does not cook, she was patient and explained everything. This was so so much fun and I can not begin to say how much I enjoyed myself that night! I know that we will stay in touch and Aspasia will help me to grow in my cooking and I can truly say I now have made a new friend who I can share my love of food with!!! Take her class!!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was an absolute pleasure having you in my kitchen, and I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed the experience as much as I did. I’m so happy that you felt at home and that we could share such a memorable evening cooking together. You did an amazing job with each dish, and I’m excited to hear about your future culinary adventures! Stay in touch, and remember I’m always here to help if you need any more tips or inspiration in the kitchen. Looking forward to our next cooking session together!
Thank you so much for the care and attention you both brought to the experience. We did sign up for a cooking class, which I have done many and also host them myself and this was more like hanging with aunties and chatting and being served food that we didn’t order for a very high price. Although I honor and appreciate the effort this wasn’t a cooking class at all and that was very disappointing for me as I wanted to participate in an interactive experience learning how to prepare and to make authentic Greek food. After realizing the menu, I almost canceled because nothing cooked was unusual. I know how to make cake and meatballs, bread with oil and feta, peppers with cheese and tomatoes. That’s on me for not closely looking at the menu. What people want is to cook, to learn the sauces, the spices, and common dishes shared among Greek families. In the end, I felt bummed to have paid such a high price to sit and be served food I wouldn’t have ordered and the cost was higher than in a fancy restaurant.
Dear Naomi, We are sorry that you did not enjoy our experience, but we are reading your comments with surprise and unfortunately we cannot understand the cause of your dissatisfaction. The menu of the class is exactly as described in the online listing. It is a complete meal with very characteristic Greek dishes. We prepared almost all the dishes in front of the guests and encouraged them to participate at every stage. They were quite reluctant to do so but did not provide any specific feedback in person. Regarding the price, it is a reasonable amount for such an experience and cannot be compared to the corresponding price of a restaurant. Even though a large part of the review is not accurate, we will take into consideration what was written and will do everything we can to further improve the quality of the experience. Sincerely, Aspasia
The cooking Class with Aspasia was great.She was very kind and I learnt so many new things from her.The view was in the heart of Athens was great
We went with two couples and attended a cooking class. Incredible experience, it was one of the best nights in Athens. The food was excellent, the people were excellent. I recommend it to everyone!
Perfect cooking experience. I recommend it for everyone to experience in the center of Athens, just 10 minutes from the Acropolis. Aspasia is a great person, she taught us and explained all the recipes, we had a great time.
Aspasia is the best! It's completely different to watch a traditional recipe online than to cook it with a local! As an experience it was extraordinary and the result was way more than pleasant!
Great to see how locals prepare their famous mediterenian dishes .Wonderfull to eat something new for us prepared by ourselfs.
Top cooking experience in Athens. So many things we learned about the Greek gastronomy. Finally we can take some great recipes back home
