Pick Your Plates, Cook & Savor- Greek Cooking Class in Athens

My sons bought this cooking class for my birthday and it was the highlight of our time in Athens. Both Minas and his beautiful aunt Ava could not of been kinder or better teachers, we made an incredible amount of food with beautiful fresh ingredients and the whole time felt at home and relaxed. I have done a lot of cooking classes and this one will definitely stand out as one where we had a lot of fun while learning some new techniques and going home with recipes that I will definitely be able to use in my kitchen. I would recommend this to both cooks and novices and would love to come back and try another class.

Such a wonderful experience from start to finish. We felt incredibly welcome — it honestly felt like cooking at home with friends. The food was absolutely delicious, made with amazing ingredients, including homemade products and incredibly tasty fruits and vegetables from their own local producers. Everything felt authentic, warm, and full of care. We also loved that we could take the leftover food with us afterwards. We truly loved the experience and highly recommend it to anyone visiting!

Wow! What a fun day spent cooking with friends! From the pre activity communication to the adaptability of the class, the team at Eat With Your Greek Cousin makes the whole experience personalized and unique! A group of 9 of us were able to pick our menu ahead of time and even with some dietary restrictions we were all able to make dishes that were delicious! The layout of the class was engaging and fun and we learned so much!

We had such a wonderful time! It felt like we were with family and loved the company and the ease of the class. I would definitely recommend this class if you would like to meet a wonderful local family that share pieces of their family food and stories. We learned a lot and laughed a lot. It was a great experience and the ingredients were freshly prepared and tasty.

Dionysia and her family welcomed us as though it were their home. We truly got a sense of how fundamental the preparation and sharing of meals is to Greek culture. Ingredients were fresh and sourced locally - many from family and friends (including the wine and olive oil). Best of all, Dionysia was extremely accommodating of my dietary restriction. I have celiac disease and she went WAY above and beyond to ensure that there was a gluten free equivalent for each dish and that there was no cross-contamination. I learned how to make gluten free bread, phyllo dough (two ways!), and she even had gluten free orzo. She also made a special effort with our 13-year old, who said afterwards that Dionysia was her "new best friend."
