Fabulous Experience with Cook in Athens and Chef Marilena! - Marilena and her team graciously hosted our group for an absolutely delightful late afternoon Greek Meze Cooking Class. Our group of 11 enjoyed the camaraderie of cooking together in addition to Marilena's easy and effortless style of providing instruction. She's a hands on instructor along with her team helping right along with us. We found the cooking area well prepped and spotlessly clean. The area was continuously checked for cleanliness and wiped down as needed. We ended the session sitting around a large dining table savoring every bite. The next day we received a lovely recipe pamphlet that included eac dish we made including pages of additional recipes. Our complete meze menu included: Cheese pies baked in the oven Dolmadakia (stuffed grape leaves) Kleftiko (pork with peppers, onions, and spices) Saragli (rolled baclava) Soutzoukakia (rolled meatballs) Stuffed peppers with savory cheese filling Tzatziki If you enjoy food and spending time in the kitchen, this class is a must while visiting Athens. You'll come away with new friends and an appreciation for well-made Greek cuisine.

Wonderful experience! Very accommodating! You don’t want to miss this - This class was amazing!! It was completely hands on and Marilena and Artemis were so patient and accommodating with our entire family. We even had a baby with us and they were so happy to have her join in on the experience. The food turned out delicious. Most dishes fresher and better than any of the Greek restaurants we ate at. You don’t want to miss this!

Easy cooking in Athens - Great cooking experience, very professional and well organised. The kitchen was spacious and air conditioned. The instructor could speak good English, as could her assistants, and they were very inclusive in getting people involved. The food was delicious, all several dishes prepared, cooked and eaten within the allocated 2hour class timeframe. Excess food was returned to us for later and the recipes were shared by email. Overall we loved our class and so glad we did it, and believe the food is easily reproducible at home. We highly recommend this experience.

Highlight of our trip!! - This is a must do!! The food was honestly the best we had in Athens and the experience was unforgettable. Marilena and her team made the experience light hearted and fun, but also informative! You do not have to be an amazing cook to have fun in this class. It’s a great way to experience Greece in the air conditioning and you get to keep all of the amazing recipes to recreate at home! We highly recommend!!

A Must-Do in Athens: Fun, Delicious, and Memorable - We had the most fantastic experience with Cooking Athens, one of the absolute highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome. The host was friendly, knowledgeable and brought such energy to the class. The atmosphere was relaxed, fun and social, with clear instructions and plenty of encouragement along the way. The ingredients were top quality and everything we made was packed with flavour. We learnt traditional techniques and useful tips we can now use at home. The whole experience was hands-on but never rushed, with time to enjoy the cooking and chat with the group. Sitting down together to eat the meal we’d prepared (with delicious local wine) was such a brilliant way to end the evening. The food was outstanding and the company even better. If you’re visiting Athens, don’t miss this experience. Whether you’re a foodie or just curious about Greek cooking, you’ll come away with great memories, new skills and a very full stomach. Highly, highly recommend.
