" Wir waren zu viert und hatten einen tollen Abend. Die Gerichte die wir uns aussuchen durften waren super lecker und wir haben viel gelernt. Wir können es nur jedem weiterempfehlen. "

"My wife and I enjoyed cooking with Melina. She provided detailed information so that our taxi driver could locate her cooking school in the Athens suburbs, where she greeted us with homemade lemonade and cherry drinks. We made 3 easy tasty dishes that we could make at home with ingredients that are commonly available. Spinach pie, a cheese roll, and a desert cousin of baklava that is easier to produce The dishes are vegetarian. The techniques Melina uses are home cooking friendly so we are likely to use them when on our own. Time passed quickly and we had our lunch and took leftovers home for dinner."

"My friend and I joined Melina in her spacious kitchen -- all set up and ready for us. Starting with lovely homemade juices and a warm explanation of our evening plans. We made incredible dishes -- especially the spinach pie and tzatziki which we will repeat frequently once home. Melina is charming, a great teacher (we left with fabulous cooking tips and techniques) and the best hostess. "

"We recently took a wonderful cooking class in Athens with Melina, and it was one of the highlights of our trip! The class was held in her lovely home, which created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere—it felt like cooking with family. Melina was an excellent teacher: patient, knowledgeable, and full of stories about Greek traditions and ingredients. Together we made delicious halva, a beautifully twisted cheese pie, and a flavorful spinach pie, all from scratch. The recipes were simple enough to recreate at home, yet authentic and full of local flavor. We left not only with new cooking skills but also with a deeper appreciation for Greek hospitality and cuisine. We highly recommend Melina’s class to anyone visiting Athens!"

"We had such a lovely time cooking with Melina. She was so kind and considerate to us as we had a snafu, and we were quite late to our appointment. She was inspirational to my son and encouraged him to prepare and try many different dishes and flavors he wouldn’t normally. We highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience authentic Greek cuisine. "

"We had such a great time with Melina! She was warm and welcoming, making this experience feel like cooking with a friend. Not only did we learn how to cook three items, we were also able to hear some history and stories behind the products we were using. We even got to take the leftovers home to enjoy later that evening! (She also sent some Greek yogurt to use as a remedy for my sunburn!) We had so much fun and would recommend booking a cooking adventure with Melina to anyone visiting Athens. Thanks Melina!"

"I visited Melina in her home to have a private cooking lesson and it was incredibly authentic and personal. We made 3 different Ancient Greek recipes. Melina is now someone I can call a friend. If you like to experience the local culture while traveling through cooking, then book this experience!"

"Melina was the best! She helped us plan a vegetarian menu and a birthday surprise well ahead of time. Her communication is great. We got a little turned around on the address and she was right there to help. This evening was like being welcomed into a Greek home. We will definitely be doing this experience again when we return to Athens. Make sure you are hungry because you you are in for a big feast."

"Melina was kind, funny and patien with us and made this the perfect evening. It was our first cooking class ever. As vegetarians we’re always a bit hesitant to book food related things, but Melina gave us great options (we later learned, she even has a degree in vegan nutrition). She was also giving us restaurant tips and was all in all just perfect. Pro tip: do not eat lunch before this class 😂."

"Melina was warm and knowledgeable. We all learned something new to try at home and this made our time in Athens memorable. We appreciated learning and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Melina, thank you for your kindness."
