Learn to Cook with a Local: A Private Greek Cooking Class in Athens

Join Angelina in her modern kitchen and learn to made traditional Greek dishes. Angelina likes to use seasonal produce whenever possible. During your hands-on cooking class you can expect to learn how to make 2-3 traditional Greek mezze dishes such as spanakopita or taramosalata. Your meal will also include additional dishes that Angelina will have prepared in advance. You can expect to cook for about an hour before you sit down to share the meal you helped to prepare.

Enjoy the traditional Greek meal you helped prepare over Greek wine at Angelina's dining table, or outdoors when the weather is good. You will start with mezze (Greek appetizers) like taramosalata, saganaki (a soft, fried cheese), tzatziki (yoghurt dip), spanakopita (phyllo pastries), gigantes plaki (giant beans in a tomato sauce) followed by a Greek salad, a main dish such as a whole fish, lamb and potatoes, garides saganaki (prawns in fresh tomato sauce with feta cheese), or revithada (a chickpea dish from the island of Sifnos, slow-cooked in a clay pot) or the traditional moussaka perfectly cooked. For dessert, try Angelina's homemade karidopitta (sticky walnut cake) with ice cream or perhaps semolina halva with spices and homemade citrus jelly. When they are available, Angelina's husband and daughter will join you for your meal.
