- 227foodproo0 contributionsCooking in AthensVery easy to make our reservation from the US. We didn't need to pay any type of deposit before the class. We arrived for our reservation and the cooking studio was beautiful and very clean. Ten people put on aprons and we began a wonderful cooking journey. I have nut allergies and the chef was very flexible and cognizant of my issue. The chef was very casual and helped all 10 of us to feel comfortable with all the ingredients and what each was to do. All cooks got a chance to participate in the entire meal. We made stuffed grape leaves (not sure of the Greek name). Next was the delicious cheese pie. (That morning at our hotel I had a piece of pie and spit it in my napkin...not this, what we made was Delicious.) All of us Chefs had a chance to cut up veggies and shred cheese for a wonderful, fresh Greek Salad. We made a delicious pasta dish with a veal and tomato sauce covered in a bechamel sauce. Fairly easy to make but so flavorful. Most important...dessert! A phillo filled dough with nuts, cinnamon and sugar. I made mine separate because of my allergy. Then we ate our accomplishments with local wines. What a wonderful way to end several hours of hard work! Oh, and we met some great travelers too!Written September 27, 2024
- Bonnie T0 contributionsExcellent Adventure in AthensWe had a ball with the staff and we all made a fantastic 5 course Greek dinner. There were 12 people and everyone was given a job to do while preparing each course. Definitely hands on. The instructors were professional, health conscious to keep things clean, easy to understand (although it would also have been helpful to explain Greek grocery products), and involved us all. I have a problem with standing for long periods and without asking, they made sure there was a chair for me in case I needed to sit, which was very much appreciated. But the best part ....eating the delicious meals!!! The tastes were out of this world. It was great to get to know our fellow cooking participants. It would have been great to have the staff join us too, but they were busy being servers, cleaning up and getting ready for the next day!! We were stuffed when we left. We would definitely recommend this class. Thank you to the staff for making our Athens trip very enjoyable!!Written September 27, 2024

Marilena helped us to create a wonderful Greek lunch in a well equipped kitchen that we later enjoyed as a group. The meal was excellent. The space is open, inviting and airy. Sharing lunch with our fellow travelers was enchanting. Marilena even promptly emailed us a book of her recipes. We highly recommend this cooking class.Written September 16, 2024
- 742Donsy0 contributionsAmazing Greek Cooking ClassMarilena's class was so much fun and we learned so much. We learned enough to host a Greek dinner party when returning home. She also emails you a book of many other recipes she uses after you leave. The building seems like no one would be there when you enter, but no worries, Marilena's cooking space is beautiful. Highly recommend doing this class if you have time in Athens!Written September 6, 2024

One of the best cooking classes we've taken. Great with a tween and no need to be a chef. Each dish was explained very well during preparing.
We made many dishes: eggplant, kebabs, stuffed grape leaves, tzatziki, and different savory and sweet baklava "cigars". It was just tje right amount of time working on each dish and the chef included great tips. Highly recommend!

We very much enjoyed our evening cooking (and eating!) with Marilena and Cook in Athens. We made a wide variety of dishes (zucchini balls, meatballs, skordalia, loukamades, saganaki, cheese filo pies, pork gyros and sausages and peppers) giving us a real taste of Greek cuisine. We even made filo pastry which I feared I couldn’t do, but Marilena made it easy and turns out I could do it, thanks to her clear instruction. She gave us copies of the recipes and I look forward to continuing our taste of Greece here at home for many years to come. She did an excellent job of communicating, making even my non-cook spouse feel at ease and participate.

I took my family of 6 (me, my wife, children 19, 17, 14, and 11) and this was one of the best cooking classes that we ever attended. We cooked such a wide variety of tasty dishes and the hosts gently guided us along the way to success. An especially impressive part of the experience was how the hosts created a special menu for my daughter who has a large amount of food allergies. The hosts were fun to work with, responsive, and easy to communicate with ahead of time. I would definitely do this again!

I booked this cooking class to do something post-covid fun with my boyfriend, who also knows zero about cooking. And we sooo enjoyed this! Marilena is an excellent "teacher", and very patient I must add :P She had prepared everything right so we didn't lose time and she guided us to make easy delicious dishes which I will cook again for sure. The place is also great in the heart of the historical center of Athens, with a fantastic view of Acropolis, and the kitchen itself is fresh, welcoming, and super clean. Masks and everything of course highly appreciated the hygiene of this place. Highly recommend this cooking class, thank you Marilena!

My sister and I had an absolutely great evening. Marilena is an absolute delight and ensures that regardless of your cooking skill you will have fun. The whole process from initial enquiry and booking to helping us find the location and then making our dinner was relaxed and fun! And oh my the amount of food and the tastes were amazing. We would highly recommend to others visiting Athens.

Booked this class as an activity with some friends visiting Greece, as we wanted to give them a culinary experience of our country and it really was beyond our expectations!
Everything was well explained, so that you don't need to be an excellent cook.
Marilena is very friendly, an excellent teacher and an amazing hostess.
The breathtaking view and the pleasant facilities just complete the whole experience.
Totally recommend it!

So open, our chefs answered all our questions and explained the unique Greek components as we were instructed how to make our own full authentic feast. Plan a full three hours to cook and eat. A huge modern kitchen with banquet table as well. A very comfortable, easy evening catered to our specific preferences and strengths as cooks. Chefs are energetic and good listeners. Thank you for making Athens go beyond sore tourist feet! ;)

Don’t let the building and the freaky elevator scare you. The kitchen is on the fifth floor and is modern and inviting! Marilena and her assistant were wonderful! Our group of four made a variety of food together and had a great time!

We were a group of 3 who decided to go for the "Greek Mezedes" class, sort of tapas in Greece. Price was more than reasonable for all that we cooked and tasted. Marilena had an amazing knowledgeable approach and her instructions made things look really easy. Dinner afterwards was more than rich and the local wine served was excellent. The whole class and dinner lasted about 3-4 hours. If you are in to cooking and willing to discover Greek cuisine, this is a MUST DO!

Hello,
I booked a class for this Friday 8/19, about two months ago. My card was to be charged 48 hrs before the class. However, I lost my card that I used to book the class and my bank canceled my card, so the class was not able to charge my card and the class just got canceled. We still very much want to take the class, can I please give you another credit card instead? We have another card to use, we just really don’t want the class to be canceled.
Please let us know as soon as possible.
Thank you
