Oh my goodness— our cooking dining experience was absolutely wonderful. Julia and George immediately make us feel comfortable in their wonderful home. We spent time getting acquainted and then the spectacular food prep began!!!! George is a great instructor and chef and our Greek meal was absolutely perfect!! Our party of four felt it was the best food we had eaten in all of Naples.

While spending a week on Ft Myers Beach. I ventured out and found the beaches on Sanibel Island to be beautiful and full of shells, I learned a lot from a pickle ball clinic I attended, I totally enjoyed the beauty and serenity of Naples Botanical Garden, and I did a lot of shopping at outlets. I also took a Traditional Greek Cooking Class which turned out to be, without a doubt, the highlight of my trip. I really enjoyed my time with Chef George and his wife, Julia. They were gracious hosts and I felt welcome in their beautiful home. The kitchen is a chef’s dream. I found George and Julia to be knowledgeable and very serious about eating healthy traditional meals. My kitchen (knife) skills are not the best, but Chef George was very patient and kept a watchful eye as I chopped green onions and Romaine lettuce and spinach. And he showed me how to work with phyllo dough as we prepared a delicious meal of Spanakopita (spinach pie), Marouli Salata (green salad with very simple ingredients), and a main (red sauce) pasta dish called KOKINISTO. We also enjoyed a serving of yogurt with nuts, honey and cinnamon. While all of this preparation and eating was happening, the wine flowed freely, the Greek music played in the background, and great conversation took place. I actually left there feeling comfortable in (attempting) to try to prepare this meal when I get home. Chef George assured me that I could call him if I got stuck or had any questions. I will definitely use Traveling Spoon to book more classes when l am in the area. Truly an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!!!
