Greek Cooking Class in Athens Including Rooftop Dinner with Acropolis View
Description
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. We don't have a gluten-free option. Vegetarians are welcome!

Absolutely wonderful experience! The chef did a great job teaching and including everyone. We all loved it!!
From start to finish, it was a wonderful evening. Our chef, Costas, was kind and funny and a very good teacher. The meal we prepared was delicious - one we will definitely work to recreate back home.
This was a small group, 6 total which made it very intimate and hands on. Our chef was Stam; he was a natural at engaging us all, showing up tips and tricks, and entertaining. We loved the class and the way we each prepared our own meals and then all of us went to the rooftop restaurant and our meals were brought up and served to us. It was a GREAT experience and I would highly recommend it.
Chef was Amazing ! food was more than enough its a must do experience good way to come together with friends and family
Spyros was an excellent chef teacher and guide in this cooking experience. Not only did I learn some cooking skills but I learned about Greek culture and food and the application of them to today’s food culture. Spyros was serious yet fun and I can tell he is a great mentor to up and coming chefs. He was kind to talk with our son Enious. Looking forward to coming back and eating in the artist.
Great evening of cooking and food was fabulous! Too much to eat actually so brought our spinach pie home for breakfast! Chef was amazing and explained all the ingredient choices, how to determine when to add thickeners, fold in ingredients and temper food....so good! We also had the wine pairings of local greek wines and they were a great compliment to the food choices! Great company to spend the night with and a wonderful rooftop view!
