Authentic Greek Cooking Class in Chania, Crete in a Local's Home

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture. Join Kelly and Stella in their home to learn about Mediterranean food, its origins and cook together Greek cuisine. You will learn how to prepare traditional dishes that you won’t commonly find in a Greek restaurant. Kelly's warm, cozy, welcoming apartment is only 5-10 minutes from the town center. Learn to make 2 dishes from scratch using family recipes. After which, sit down at the dining table with your host Kelly and enjoy the meal you helped prepare. A few dishes that you might try are fava yellow split pea dip served with dakos (Cretan barley rusk), kalitsounia (hand made from scratch with filo pastry filled with local Cretan cheese and shallow fried until crispy and golden) or Glyko Kolokithokeftedes (aromatic pumpkin, feta and herb fritters) and gemista (rice stuffed vegetables baked with herbs) or chicken braise or papoutsakia (eggplants stuffed with a mince sauce and topped with béchamel). End your meal with a dessert such as Greek yoghurt with thyme infused Cretan honey, walnuts and pomegranate and Greek coffee or tea.
