Vegan Cooking Class in Athens: Learn Greek Dishes

Cook moussaka, spanakopita and almond feta, then eat what you made

A hands-on vegan cooking class in Athens near the Acropolis where you learn to prepare classic Greek dishes in a group of up to ten. You cook in two teams, master techniques for moussaka, spanakopita, fava and other recipes, then sit down to eat together. The class runs 3.5 hours and includes wine, beer, water and a digital recipe book to take home.

The experience

How do you actually learn to cook Greek food? By standing at the stove in Koukaki, a neighborhood near the Acropolis, and making it yourself. The class keeps groups to a maximum of ten so everyone gets hands-on time, not just a seat to watch. After a short introduction, you split into two teams and work through the dishes step by step: moussaka with cashew béchamel, spanakopita, fava with caramelized onions, dakos with homemade almond feta, koulouri sesame rings, tzatziki and an ekmek dessert. The instructor guides each team through the techniques.

You eat everything you cook at the end of the class, paired with wine, beer and water. Before you leave, you get a digital recipe book in English so you can recreate the dishes at home. The whole thing takes 3.5 hours. Private lessons are available if you want to book the class just for your group. The cost depends on how many people attend.

Is this one for you?The 3.5-hour class fits into a morning or early afternoon without consuming your whole day. If you have limited time in Athens, this leaves room for other neighborhoods or museums afterward. If you want to spend longer on food, you can book a private lesson and extend it.
