Authentic Greek Cooking Class in a Beautiful Athens Home

Experience the authentic flavors of Greece in a private, hands-on cooking class in the modern kitchen of your local host’s beautiful Athens home. Start with a traditional Greek welcome of meze and ouzo, featuring small plates such as gigandes (giant beans in tomato sauce), dolma, and fried saganaki cheese, while learning about Greek culture and the rituals of ouzo drinking. Join Angelina in the kitchen to prepare a traditional Greek meal, including a filo appetizer, fresh Greek salad, hearty main course, and a quick baklava dessert that you can easily recreate at home. Whenever possible, Angelina uses seasonal, organic produce to highlight fresh, local flavors. After about an hour of hands-on cooking, sit down to enjoy the authentic Greek meal you helped create, paired with Greek wine. This private Athens cooking class is an immersive culinary experience, ideal for travelers seeking authentic Greek cuisine, cultural insights, and engaging hands-on cooking lessons. Angelina is happy to accommodate lactose-free, gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan diets in your Athens cooking class; please let her know of any dietary restrictions when booking.

Enjoy a traditional Greek meal in Athens at Angelina's dining table or outdoors on her balcony when the weather is good. You will start with ouzo, the traditional Greek aperitif and small plates of mezze (Greek appetizers) such as taramosalata, saganaki (a soft, fried cheese), tzatziki (yoghurt dip) or gigantes plaki (giant beans in a tomato sauce) or hand rolled dolmades and fresh bread followed by a Greek salad, a main dish such as a spanakopita (phyllo pastries) or whole fish or lamb and potatoes or garides saganaki (prawns in fresh tomato sauce with feta cheese) or chicken giouvetsi with orzo, or for vegetarians or vegans and upon request, revithada (a chickpea dish from the island of Sifnos, slow-cooked in a clay pot). For dessert, you will try an easy version of baklava with pistachios and walnuts.
