More Than a Cooking Class—A Wonderful Cretan Experience!
Our private cooking class with Maria was one of the highlights of our time in Crete! From the moment we arrived, Maria made us feel so welcome. We began our experience sitting in her beautiful olive grove, enjoying traditional Greek coffee and conversation.
Maria shared recipes she prepares for her own family, and we had the pleasure of cooking alongside her as we prepared our meal together. We loved learning not only about traditional Cretan food but also about the culture and traditions behin...Leer más

Wonderful Fun and Delicious Food
We were two couples and had a wonderful time with Maria. She has a lovely little farm. Prior to showing up, Maria gives you a choice of dishes to make. The most difficult part was deciding what to make as everything sounded wonderful. We would definitely recommend and would go back if we are in the area again. Be careful with your GPS as it may take you a crazy route. Make the turn across from Paradisio Restaurant.

Delicious dishes with ingredients from the garden in a friendly atmosphere
Maria is the perfect hostess, not only for the cooking area, very informal and to our personal wishes.

If you only do one cooking class
Maria, a wonderfully warm and generous host, offers so much more than a typical cooking lesson. It’s a genuine glimpse into her family’s village heritage and way of life. You’ll cook in her kitchen, once a modest home belonging to her ancestors, nestled within their olive and citrus grove. Occasionally, chickens will wander around in the grove and the village cat will call in.
Before our visit, we selected our dishes: prawn saganaki, cockerel stew and cheese pie. We also made pitta bread and...Leer más

Thank you so much for this beautiful and touching review. Your words means so much to me.
Cooking is deeply connected with memories, family, so it is very special when people like you and Alice appreciate not only the food, but also the stories and atmosphere behind it all.
Thank you also for noticing the small details these things carry many memories and it warms my heart to share them with people who truly value them.
It was a pleasure to welcome you into our home and spend this time together! sending good vibes from Crete!
