Overview

Make your own bread from scratch along with a Greek mum and bake it in a traditional wooden fired oven. Smell the unbeatable aroma of the freshly baked bread and enjoy it with your lunch! There is also the possibility, instead of bread to make another Greek pastry delicacy like a Greek seasonal pita (pie)!

The traditional Greek mum will show you how to make Greek appetizers and food like gemista (stuffed tomatoes and peppers with rice and fresh herbs), or tyropita (cheese pie), beef, lamb or pork cooked in the stone fired oven, along with Greek salad or other seasonal recipes using the freshest of ingredients and of course there are plenty food choices also for vegetarians and vegans.

At the end you will enjoy a full, delicious lunch with everything you made during the Cooking class!
