"Katerina’s cooking class is a delightful experience with a skilled chef and lovely person. Katerina’s home outside of the Athens city center provides a stylish, intimate setting to learn from her years of catering to clients across the Greek Islands. We helped to prepare multiple sweet and savory dishes from simple, flavorful ingredients from the local markets, and we benefited from Katerina having pre-cooked a few time-consuming homecooked favorites. Our evening was punctuated by pleasant conversation, as we learned of Katerina’s stories while she thoughtfully listened to ours. This class is perfect for a couple or small group looking to have a personalized lesson on good Greek cooking while learning some new dishes and hints for authentic preparation."
