Katerina is a wonderful person - lively, engaging, outgoing and a fantastic cook. Our meal started with appetizers and lots of conversation. Next came the cooking lessons. She showed us how to make an appetizer then we practiced. Next she showed how to make a traditional Greek salad. Then it was dinner time. The entire meal was delicious and plentiful. She is the consummate host. Highly recommend this experience!

Cooking with Katerina was the ultimate Greek Culinary experience. Not only she cooked some favorite Greek foods, but incorporated us in the learning process. Looking forward to follow her knowledge into my kitchen.

Katerina was so gracious welcoming us into her home for a cooking lesson! We loved hearing and seeing how she lived and of course the food was fantastic! Got home and immediately made tzatziki!

My wife and I spent an amazing evening with Katerina. She is an amazing chef and an even better person. She showed us how to make a few Greek dishes, giving us a chance to participate, an explained everything a long the way. I would highly recommend Cooking with Katerina as a must do evening event during a stay in Athens.

The highlight of our trip to Greece

jennifer, May 2023

This was the highlight of our trip to Greece! Katerina welcomed us into her home like we were family. She showed us how to prepare several traditional Grecian dishes that were just amazing. As a travel advisor, I have had many incredible experiences throughout our beautiful world and this private cooking class is among the most memorable.
