“We loved how this class catered to a few different levels of comfort in the kitchen. The chef/teacher was so charming, knowledgeable, and very welcoming. At a few points he was literally pointing to a big map on the wall to show us where certain ingredients come from, and he even showed us a photo of his sweet grandmother holding her stick for rolling out phyllo dough. Just so much pride in the culture and food. I usually don't like my cooking. But, I was impressed to be eating something that I made that was delicious. My favorite part was meeting people from all over the world, getting their point…”

“I had an incredible cooking class with Chef Stamatis. We prepared tzatziki, Aegean salad, spinach pie, and a fantastic moussaka. We finished with a delicious galatopita for dessert. I also chose the special wines they had pre-selected, and each one paired perfectly with the dishes. Stamatis is extremely knowledgeable, and I learned many new techniques as well as fascinating insights into Greek cuisine and history… all served with plenty of charming dad jokes. The whole experience was amazing, and the rooftop view over Athens made it even better. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone looking for a memorable experience and a great dinner.”
