Thessaloniki: Cook like a Greek mama

Experience the heart of Greek hospitality in Thessaloniki, Greece with a hands-on cooking class led by a local Greek mama in her welcoming home. Immerse yourself in the rich culinary heritage as you learn to craft beloved Greek dishes using recipes passed down through generations.

Your experience begins with a warm welcome before you roll up your sleeves and prepare classic Greek specialties. Under expert guidance, you'll master spanakopita or spanakotyropita with handmade phyllo dough, expertly filled with fresh herbs and local cheeses, and learn the secrets to perfectly rolling and filling dolmadakia, either vegetarian or with meat.

Continue your culinary journey by preparing creamy tzatziki, blending strained yogurt, garlic, and cucumber, just as it's made in Greek villages. You'll also create an authentic Greek salad featuring ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, fragrant oregano, and feta cheese sourced from local producers.

Round out the menu by crafting juicy keftedakia—traditional Greek meatballs—softened with fresh herbs and bread, then fried to golden perfection. After cooking, gather around the table with your host to enjoy the feast along with a glass of local wine or raki, sharing stories and laughter like a true Greek family.

The class includes all ingredients, instruction, and a shared meal, but excludes transportation to the host's home. Join this intimate experience lasting about three hours, meeting at a convenient location in Thessaloniki. Spots fill fast, so check availability and book your authentic Greek cooking adventure now!
