Although I am the primary cook in our home, I was less than excited about my wife interrupting our vacation in Greece for a cooking class and I was flatly wrong....one of the most memorable days in Greece.
First, Kristiana was fascinating - welcoming, knowledgeable, educational and, on top of all that, downright funny (perhaps she didn't know it but she was a truly genuine character).
Her home is beautiful and comfortable and a wonderful place to be, learn and meet people in a casual environment, seriously, felt so at home with Kristiana and everyone even though we had never met any of them.
We learned how to make several traditional foods, tips and techniques, we laughed, we made wonderful food and the wine carafes never went empty.
The tzatziki competition was a highlight (we all blew it except for Nashville Molly!) and Kristiana made a traditional Greek beef dish to pair with what we made...it was DELICIOUS, all of it.
I've made all but one recipe since I returned home, the were good, I need more practice to make them great.
Womderful host, experience, recipes, and a day enjoyed with newly made friends. If you even remotely enjoy cooking, do this!
