Chef Anna and family were gracious hosts and took the time to show us through part of the village and provide lots of history! Still waiting on recipes and photos as promised but would highly recommend this experience!! 🤩
The cooking class was so fun, and Anna was an amazing teacher! We loved the entire experience—from making fried Gruyère cheese, to the main dish of noodles with tomato sauce and beef, and of course the orange pie for dessert! Yum!! She took us on a tour of the village and shared many stories with us. We had the absolute best afternoon!! We will recommend this class to anyone who is traveling g to Naxos!!
Myself, my Mom, and Aunt attended a cooking class with Anna. It was amazing! Anna is so lovely. She taught us to make 4 dishes and provided the recipes after, it was all delicious! While the food was cooking we took a tour of the town and Anna told us about the history. We then sat outside with a stunning view and ate our meals with some delicious wine. It was an excellent experience if you are in Naxos, we highly recommend!
I signed up for the class after my first meal on Naxos when I confirmed the food on the island is excellent. The location is in a quaint village with beautiful views. Ana was our instructor at her family tavern. The dishes we prepared were delicious and should be easy to execute at home. I’m looking forward to getting the recipes. Ana gave us a tour of the village and then we came back and ate the fruits of or labor in a beautiful outdoor setting.
We cannot say enough good things about this experience! Anna cooked with us, and she was so kind and patient with my wife and I when making each dish. It felt like we were meeting an old friend and had so much fun cooking together (even if we weren’t very good at it). We loved the tour of the village and learning about the history and her story. Anna even picked me two lemons when I got over-excited about seeing lemon trees (haha). The foods we made were tasty and we will be able to make them again when we get home. It was a little hard to find the tavern, but Anna and her family were gracious even when we arrived a few minutes late. This was one of the highlights of our honeymoon!
Words cannot explain how amazing this experience was. Anna treated us like family members. The food was incredible, everything was perfect. Hands down recommended Gregory’s Traditional Cooking Class to everyone.
The experience was pretty average for the price, however, we still had a good time. We really liked going to a different area of Naxos and seeing a genuine small village. Reading other people’s reviews and seeing photos - it does not seem like we got the same positive experience as others. No wine/alcohol was offered (even though it’s mentioned in the listing) and the courses we cooked were not that great. Perhaps because it was the low season - there was also no Gregory or family there like other reviewers mentioned. We were thankful that we were shown a Christmas pork dish (it was a baked pork that she did for the first time), though I don’t recommend it in future classes (pretty dry and not a lot of flavor). In other photos, there was a nice set table on the balcony area overlooking the nice view - we were sat inside on a beautiful day. This would have been really nice. In addition, we were told we would be shared the recipes and photos but I have not received a response from the host ever since the cooking class concluded a few days ago. Overall, Anna was very kind and knowledgeable about food. Our favorite thing we made was the Christmas cookies! I just don’t think the dishes we cooked were worth the price point.
This was an amazing experience. Very local family feel. In a such a special area of the island. I would highly recommend. Went home with lots of leftovers!
My daughter and I really enjoyed the cooking class with Chef Anna. We would definitely recommend the activity. The food turned out great.
They held the class even though I was the only participate. Friendly, knowledgeable And patient describe Chef Anna.
All the items tasted very good. Got an apron ND a certificate to remember the experience.
I highly recommend!
It was a great experience. She talked about what we were cooking as we were cooking and gave us a tour of the town while our food was cooking.
It’s really a fun an activity with a group. Great instructor and family. The village is very quant too. Definitely worth it!!
Cooking with Anna and her family was a wonderful traditional Greek experience! We cooked and ate and laughed and it felt like we were part of the family. The food was amazing and we’re going to try to make some of the recipes when we get home.
This experience was better than we could have ever imagined!! We felt right at home when we walked in. The hosts were so friendly and hospitable. The food we cooked was incredible! We also got to take a tour of the village, which was an added bonus. We highly recommend this class to anyone!
It was a great experience. Anna was very friendly and easy to talk to. I felt like a learnt a lot and am excited to try these recipes again at home. The town was beautiful and I loved the amazing view while enjoying the food. I would definitely recommend this course to others as a unique way to experience Naxos culture and cuisine.
Great experience for the whole family. We made delicious traditional dishes with a very engaging and experienced host, Anna. We had so much food we couldn’t eat it all! The location in the quaint hillside village was interesting to experience and had a great view of the nearby towns.
We joined five other vacationers for the cooking class given by Anna at her family taverna. Together we made six Greek dishes under Anna’s expert guidance. We were given recipes and I feel very confident about making these items at home. The location of the taverna is beautiful and Anna took us on a walking tour of the village before we sat down to enjoy our dinner. We recommend this food tour highly!
AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!! Anna was so kind and a great teacher! We even got to take the recipes and leftovers home!
This was an amazing experience! We highly recommend it! If you want to learn about the Greek culture then this is perfect for you! their hospitality was so welcoming. Anna and her mom were the epitome of Greek hospitality! After we cooked, We toured their quaint village. don’t miss this opportunity!
Anna was delightful! From helping us find the location of the class to the parting gift at the end, we couldn't have asked for more. It was so much more than a cooking class. Local history and tradition was shared throughout and on a walk while dinner was cooking. I highly recommend!
