Overview

Greece is famous for so many great reasons: Friendly people, beautiful nature, stunning landscapes and of course, amazing food!

We are so spoilt here with amazing produce, filled with flavour and always fresh as we enjoy it when it's in season!

Food is an important aspect of travel, and one of the things that people remember the most about their time abroad. Why not make it an even bigger part of your vacation and enjoy the experience of making excellent, tasty dishes that you can enjoy again and again at home meaning you'll always have something to remember your time here in Greece forever!

Οur venue is the little foodie space in Athens. Our team of local, home cooks are here to take care of you and make sure you have fun from the moment you arrive!

Start the experience at the 1st floor of Athinas 36, Athens, it's a handy place to leave anything you don't want to carry to the market.

Head to Varvakios Agora, the central produce market in Athens, here you cook will take you on a shopping walk to pick up ingredients, meet some of the local traders and discover a few places you might not have already seen! It's not a tour of the market, but it's still an experience!

Back at our venue the hands-on experience will begin and you will be involved in the preparation of your dishes.

Your meal will be served with a serving of local organic wine and a shot of Greek digestive liquor.

End your time with us with a chance to relax, enjoy a drink with your food and let us take care of the dishes.

We are happy to cater to your dietary needs, please contact us using the messaging feature as soon as possible to let us know in advance as we can't do anything at the last minute.

The teacher is amazing and funny. He's like a cousin that you never met that takes you under his wing and teaches you all you need to know about the mother-country,

Our host was friendly, interesting, and very funny. She facilitated the experience with ease and was very informative about Greek food and culture. We made some new friends and gathered new recipes to take home. Great job!

I can’t recommend attending this cooking course enough, it was so much fun, I learnt a lot and it was worth every penny. After an initial hickup with the booking via the third party site (I’d booked 7 months in advanced then a few days before it was cancelled, however I finally got it resolved). The day ran so smoothly, a visit to the local, authentic food market then back to The Greek Kitchen to make 5 dishes. The chef/teacher was so welcoming, friendly and involved all (very slight thing which she jokingly mentioned herself was her thick Greek accent which did make it difficult to understand her at times). It was a very mixed class which was great, we all got along and made a feast which we all enjoyed at the end along with accompanying local wine and aperitif. I will definitely be replicating the recipes when I arrive home as they were so delicious and easy to make. I must say there’s nothing like the fresh Greek produce that we ate, unlike what I can get back home, it’s pretty impressive. If you want to do something fun and learn some Greek dishes with a friendly, independent business this is the course for you.

What a fun cooking class! Highly recommend this class. Our host was funny and truly enjoyed her recipes. We did a tour of the central market, talked to local vendors, came back and had fun conversation and made some incredible food! Loved it!
