Enjoy a private and authentic cooking class in a small, local home with your host Angelina who is extremely knowledgeable about Greek cuisine and its history. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. Your cooking class will take place in a small, local home kitchen where Angelina will teach you how to make 2-3 traditional Greek dishes from family recipes. After cooking, you will enjoy your meal together in your host's home.
• Brunch cooking lesson in a local home • Introduction to Greek culture and cuisine. • 100% private activity • Experience Greek hospitality in a residential Chora neighborhood • Vegetarian options available
If you choose the market tour grade option, your experience will include a visit to the local farmers market. Your host will introduce you to her favored vendors and help you discover local Greek produce. Together you will purchase a few ingredients for your brunch and walk together, basket in hand, to her home.
Meet Angelina at her home where you will find a small meze table laid out with local Greek olives and cheese (Myconian gruyere), a cold herbal tea or fresh fruit juice and a few slices of louza, the local prosciutto and an exquisite Myconian sausage. Next, join Angelina in her small home kitchen and learn to prepare a traditional Greek brunch. During your hands-on cooking lesson Angelina will teach you how to prepare tomatoes needed for both your main dish of kagiana eggs and mostra (the Myconian equivalent of a bruschetta but with kopanisti cheese, olive oil, capers and tomato). After preparing the tomato base, you will assemble delicious feta parcels, cheese wrapped in filo that will bake in the oven. You will wrap together small spanakopitas with either feta and spinach (if spinach is in season), anthotyro and fine herbs, or minced sausage with green olives, the combinations are endless! Share the meal you helped prepare with Angelina along with yoghurt and fresh fruits and honey. You will conclude your brunch with Greek coffee and a spoon sweet. For the alcohol, Angelina includes a glass of wine or a bottle of local beer (Mikonu).
