Authentic Cretan Cooking Class with Stamatia

We were able to experience a very special cooking event with Stametia, Maria, and Kostas – and it was simply fantastic! Together with three other couples, we prepared traditional Greek dishes in an incredibly beautiful and warm atmosphere: Moussaka, tzatziki, stuffed vegetables, and much more. Everything was not only explained excellently, but it was also incredibly delicious in the end! It was especially nice that everyone was allowed to participate and had their own task while cooking. This turned a cooking class into a shared experience with lots of fun, laughter, and a good atmosphere. Kostas moderated the event excellently with his likable and humorous manner. A real highlight was also the olive oil tasting. We learned a lot of interesting things and were able to consciously get to know different oils. And as if that weren't enough, fresh goat cheese was even made – a very special experience and taste-wise fantastic! Stamatia introduced us to Greek culinary art with a lot of passion and warmth, which she learned to a large extent from her grandma. This tradition and her enthusiasm were palpable in every moment. She is simply great! Maria was a wonderful support and always there when something didn't quite work out while cooking. To finish, we ate together on the terrace, had a wonderful conversation, and enjoyed the day. We were a great group, and I felt incredibly comfortable and welcome from the very beginning – almost like part of the family. Many thanks to Stamatia, Maria, and Kostas for this fantastic experience, the many beautiful impressions, and the great experiences that I was able to take with me. ❤️ Everything was super delicious, warm, authentic, and made with a lot of love. I will definitely repeat this cooking event and can recommend it to everyone from the bottom of my heart! 🇬🇷🍋🫒

What an experience Amazing day. Kostas was a superb host. Very knowledgeable ans Stamatia was charming Very relaxed and food of the gods. Highly recommended.

The hours with Stamatia, Kostas, and Maria are truly highly recommended. During pleasant conversations about everything under the sun, and especially about Crete, olive oil, and cooking, the hours fly by. You get an insight into the preparation of typical Greek or Cretan dishes and then enjoy the prepared meals together. In a very warm atmosphere, you are guided to prepare dishes such as moussaka, stuffed grape leaves, tzatziki, salad, or Cretan dakos yourself. Even the production of fresh cheese from goat's milk is shown. The production of olive oil is explained and concluded with a tasting. For anyone who would like to get to know Greek hospitality in a private atmosphere, this offer is perfect. Afterward, you receive photos of the event and the recipes via an email link. Contacting us via the Thetasteofcrete website is easily possible in German or English. Efcharisto Poli, that we were allowed to be there!
