Such a fun experience. Enjoyed walking the market and meeting new people. It was raining but that didn’t stop us.

Vasia was an excellent host and the hands on cooking experience was very memorable. I would recommend this class to anyone traveling to Greece.

It was such fun! The visit to the market gathering our food, the cooking and eating our dishes, and our wonderful instructor, Adonia, made for a wonderful experience!

My husband and I a wonderful cooking class yesterday with Dispina ( I'm sorry if that is spelt wrong). We first had a very interesting and informative tour of the market, followed by a fun and interactive class. Dispina was an amazing teacher and made sure to get everyone involved in the cooking. I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in Greek food. I would definitely check it out again when back in Athens! Mary and Karl from NZ!!! 😃

What fun! Vasia does a wonderful job of introducing the class to Greek markets and dishes. Everything was so tasty too!!

Our chef was amazing; friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. She brought us to the Grand markets to point out various foods some of which we used for the 5 dishes we made. And, no need to try to scramble to scribble recipes as you go as they are all on the Greek Kithen web site. Highly recommend this educational and tasty experience. Many thanks!

The food was delicious! The instructor was a comedian and kept things moving and funny while providing great information. The helpers had everything ready to go and the class proceeded on time. It ended with a shot of Mastiha for digestion! There was even food to take home. Tripadvisor’s receipt was insufficient. It did not list the time or location. I had to look up the Greek Kitchen and go to their website for essential information.

This was the perfect way to kick off our stay in Athens - the staff were so friendly (especially Vasia and Antonia!) they kept us laughing and smiling the whole time. The quality of the food was amazing and everyone got to participate and contribute to the meal in someway. We made spanakopita and orange pie and we tried ordering it at restaurants later in our trip but they paled in comparison to the ones we made in this class! The 4 hours went by too quickly, I could have stayed there all day :)

Wonderful experience. So glad we did this. Vasia was so much fun and gave a detailed introduction to Greek cuisine. It’s a great communal experience as we met some lovely people in the class. Highly recommended!

This was such a fun class. We found the studio easily with Google maps. We're greeted by the staff. Once all there,we did a tour of the markets, which was a culinary person's delight. Back to the studo after Vasia, who is very popular there, purchased a few items we needed for or class. The items we prepared ourselves and cooked were amazingly good and simple enough to make you want to prepare at home. I can't say enough about Vasia, our chef. She was funny, fun, and very thorough and allowed us to prep everything. The whole group had so much fun, oh, and plenty of wine!!!

Thespina was amazing. Very patient and engaged all of the guests and worked through allergy issues. Food was amazing. Was a great cooking class. Would highly recommend

The vast nationalities of people who love authentic food, laughing as one big family. Truly an enjoyable experience.

Overall I enjoyed the experience and am glad I went. We made a bunch of different traditional Greek plates and learned general kitchen tips/techniques. I'm not sure of the chef who taught our class, but I found him to be a tad standoffish and thought he could have explain/presented things better. We went to the Athen's market for some ingredients and strawberries to pick at. We spent quite some time in the fresh meat/seafood sections, which made me quite nauseous (I'm sure I wasn't alone), I do wish the chef paid more attention to the fact that other cultures may be sensitive to raw and dead animals. Regardless, the food was delicious and we were able to take home leftovers. Plus we got plenty of wine while cooking and tasting.

The market tour was a bit of a whirlwind, and I would’ve appreciated a more leisurely pace so that I could explore the stalls. However, given the work that awaited us in the kitchen, I understand why we moved the way we did. The cooking class was well-structured, with each participant owning prep of a single ingredient for each dish. We created a multi-course meal, comprised of TRUE tzatziki, dolmades, spanakopita, İmam bayıldı (a new fave!), and portokalopita. I’m salivating just thinking about that orange pie, and I’m planning to make the İmam bayıldı at home. We also sampled an interesting Greek liqueur that I’ll never forget. I left full and satisfied. Many thanks to our teacher, Chef Thanasis. His knowledge, pride, and passion for his history and culture shined through.

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,

What a fabulous experience we had with Thanos learning great recipes , cooking and eating the most delicious meal of our time in Athens!!! We loved that Thanos also shared about his family and growing up in Greece! Would give this 6 stars if possible!!! Thanos was amazing!!!🥰🙌

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!

Because I wanted a hands-on experience in Athens but my partner doesn't drink alcohol or like olives, I chose this cooking class. Our classmates came from all over the world and added to the fun. Our instructor, Vasia, gave us a tour of the nearby partially covered open-air food market. Back at the kitchen, we took turns chopping ingredients for things like tzatziki and making individual dishes. We learned how to roll both dolmades (rice +/- ground beef in grape leaves) and spanakopita. There was an eggplant dish, and dessert was an orange "pie" with torn phyllo dough that had the texture of a British pudding. Along the way, Vasia told jokes and played music, and we chatted amongst ourselves. Maria also helped clean up and with the baking. It was a lot of fun!
