This is much more than a cooking class. For nearly 10 years, our family has welcomed travelers into our real home in Thessaloniki, where you cook, eat, talk and share the table with us as a guest of the family.
Our recipes have been passed down through generations, including our family moussaka recipe, prepared for well over a century. Many fresh ingredients come from our family garden in our village outside Thessaloniki, while other products are sourced from trusted local producers.
Our home has also welcomed chefs from Greece and abroad, including chefs working in Michelin-starred environments, as well as BBC and CNN teams who came to experience and document our family cooking and hospitality.
You don’t simply learn Greek recipes — you discover the people, stories, traditions and flavors behind them, and experience Greek hospitality exactly where it belongs: around a family table.
