Country: Greece
Duration:
02:00 hours
Description
Join a Greek grandma in her Rhodes kitchen for a hands-on cooking class. Learn to make traditional dishes, enjoy your creation with sides and wine, and take home a recipe card.
Step into a cozy Rhodes kitchen and let a real Greek grandma (“yiayia”) show you how the island truly cooks. Be welcomed like family before rolling up your sleeves to prepare one cherished dish of the day.
The menu rotates, so you might layer a silky Moussaka, roll Dolmadakia (stuffed vine leaves), simmer the comfort-food classic Fasolada (bean soup), or master seasonal favorites like Gemista (stuffed tomatoes & peppers) or Spanakopita (spinach pie).
From washing and chopping market-fresh produce to seasoning “just like we do at home,” cook side-by-side with your host, learning the tips, stories, and little secrets that don’t appear in any cookbook. While your dish finishes, enjoy a light mezé spread and a glass of local wine or a soft drink. Then gather around the table to taste what you’ve made—family-style, laughter included.
Leave with new skills, a recipe card to keep, and the sense you’ve just been welcomed into a Rhodes home. It’s the most delicious way to meet Greece’s heart: through grandma’s kitchen.
