Description
Cooking experience: (1-6 guests) Step into my kitchen in Athens and discover the centuries-old tradition of Greek pie-making - a practice so culturally significant, it’s recognised by UNESCO as part of the Mediterranean diet on the Intangible Cultural Heritage List. This unique cooking class specialises in phyllo, the delicate, paper-thin dough at the heart of Greece’s beloved savory pies. Begin your experience with a traditional treat of Greek coffee and loukoumi (a local sweet), then roll up your sleeves for a hands-on lesson in making spanakopita, a quintessential Greek dish. I will guide you through every step of the process, starting from scratch with just flour and water. You’ll use seasonal ingredients like wild spinach, local greens, and a mix of Greek cheeses to craft your filling. On my dining table, you’ll knead and roll your dough into impossibly thin sheets, learning the art of layering to create a light, flaky crust with a perfectly golden finish. I will share not only my technique, but also the rich history and cultural significance behind each step. You’ll leave with printed recipes so you can recreate the experience at home. The cooking portion lasts around two hours, followed by a shared meal on my balcony featuring the spanakopita you made, alongside other traditional dishes I have thoughtfully prepared. Enjoy your meal with Tsipouro (a traditional Greek spirit) and a glass of white or rosé wine, finishing with a delicious Greek dessert.
