We all (around 12 people) stood around a table and prepared greek food. You need some previous cooking experience to do this, but all in all it was very basic and a very good experience with some good dishes. We all left very full and very happy. Best part was getting the recipes sent home in pdf-format. I have made some of the dishes again and really like the greek kitchen. Worst part, and the reason I don't give a 5 rating was that the course took place in the dining room of an increasingly noisy tavern, and it became hard to hear the teacher. Still very pleased.

Took the Athens Walking Tour cookery course with Maria this week and loved every minute of it. From start to finish, the wonderful cook and lovely lady made our group feel at ease and like part of her family. The dishes were traditional Greek food, made with love, and a great introduction into cooking this type of cuisine. Go with friends, go on your own. But go!! And take an appetite with you!!!

We went on this cooking tour at the taverna on Oct 2013. Chef Maria's enthusiasm and passion can be felt throughout the lesson, dishing out not only food recipes, little secret cooking techniques as well as friendship!

We went there expecting to have a cooking lesson where everyone tries to prepare the same dish on their own. That wouldn't be Greek. Instead, everyone sat together on a big table. That way everyone would cook together. We made many recipes going from a simple starter like tzatziki to a main dish like lamb.

Trough out the lesson she taught us much more than how to cook. She showed us the Greek way of living trough her recipes.

Hospitality is a Greek concept, as they say. She welcomed us with some drinks and kept giving us all sort of things for us to taste while always giving us more wine.

In the end we tasted everything that was cooked. Which was amazing and way more food then we could take.
