What You’ll Experience

Mezes (mezedes for plural) is a small plate of hot or cold dish, served alongside other mezedes. Mezedes have a dual purpose. First to complement the drink (and by drink we mean Greek spirits like ouzo, raki etc) and then to provide a reason for social gathering. Once we’ve all gotten to know each other, we will talk about the menu and the recipes we are going to cook. You will learn how to cook a 6+ Greek meze dinner using the best local ingredients and following traditional family recipes which we will all devour afterwards while talking, laughing and drinking good Greek wine. To ensure all class participants learn the most important parts of the given menu, certain key techniques (such as making dough for pies from scratch) will be executed by all class participants. By the end of the class our guests will be able to recreate the full menu when they get back home. Other things to note - Please inform for any food allergies or dislikes upon booking. - All classes can be vegetarian or vegan upon request - Private classes are available upon request as well as classes at desired days/time. - We can cancel bookings in case the minimum number of participants (4) is not reached
