CookinAthens - A Must Do Experience - CookinAthens was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Greece! Marilena was amazing. Our group was small - my husband and I and our 12 year old grandson - and she was encouraging and fun and made the whole experience quite extraordinary. She definitely worked hard ahead of time shopping for very fresh ingredients and prepping some of the food. There were no wasted moments. We got to do so much of the work to prepare the meal, which we enjoyed so very much, and having the recipes now that we are back in Canada is phenomenal. I would highly recommend Marilena and the company! When we go back to Greece, I will definitely do this again.

Delicious - We did the lunch booking. The ladies did a great job explaining everything and keeping the work area clean so we were able to transition easily between dishes. Everything was timed perfectly so when we finish the last dish it was time to eat. We made 5 dishes and they all worked well with each other to make an amazing lunch.

A great couples excursion! - We had a great time in this class. Our instructor gave us many choices on what to make to suit our taste. We made a delicious salad, appetizer, main dish with sides, and a great dessert too! It was a fantastic experience and after the class she sent us an electronic cookbook. So nice to do an excursion that made memories but also gave us recipes to use for the future. Highly recommended!
