Description

Delve into the Greek art of cooking with a Mykonos cooking class that will make you feel right at home!

Let your driver pick you up from your hotel and take you to the traditional Mykonian house where the cooking class will take place. Get a warm welcome from the owner, an experienced cook that will give you insight into the local culture, history, and lifestyle while sharing stories about her life, making you feel like you’ve known her since forever.

In this friendly atmosphere, you will get to enjoy some of the most typical Mykonian snacks, or ‘mezedes’, including the crowd-pleasing ‘dakos’ with ‘kopanisti’ cheese and tomato, ‘louza’, which is a dish consisting of sun-dried pork fillets that tastes way better than it sounds, along with aromatic wine and Cretan raki. Additionally, you will stroll through the home’s private vegetable garden, learning fascinating facts about local organic farming along the way!

Next up is the cooking lesson. Prepare classic Greek dishes using fresh local ingredients, including ‘tzatziki’ dip and spinach pie, stuffed vegetables, or ‘gemista’, and slow-cooked beef. All participants will be supplied with the appropriate equipment, ensuring a safe, stain-free experience. The host will guide you through your cooking adventure and share tips and tricks of Greek cooking that will guarantee excellent results!

After preparing the dishes, during their cooking time, you can enjoy some downtime, conversing with your host and fellow participants before indulging in a mouthwatering Greek feast! Your cooking class will come to an end with you tasting traditional fresh fruit, traditional sweet preserves and tasty yogurt drenched in honey; a sweet conclusion to a sweet experience!

If you love food, you'll love this! Teta, the host, was so sweet and incredibly helpful she felt like family! The Mykonos cooking class was easy enough to follow and the result were impressive! I'll try to recreate a couple of the dishes and hopefully taste a bit of Greece soon!
