A really fun and well organized cooking class. We made 7 dishes with a class of 16. The outdoor setting is wonderful and you get more than 60 recipes to take home. Lots of wine to accompany the class. I took the class with my 16 year olds and they loved it!

We had an amazing time, Lydia and her crew were friendly, helpful and fun. We made all my favorite traditional greek favorites. So well organized and efficient. Even if you don’t like to cook, you will still have a great time. Go, you won’t regret it!

    So well worth it!

    This class far exceeded our expectations! It came highly recommended from many people and we were not disappointed! Vivienne and her staff could not have been more welcoming, patient, and engaging. We learned many different dishes, laughed, ate, danced, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! Everything was delicious and we all felt we could recreate the recipes after the class! We all highly recommend this class!

    This was a fun experience...

    Brittany_A, Sep 2026
    This was a fun experience but not what I was expecting. If you are looking to really learn and be really hands on this might not be the class for you. There were so many people in this class I found it hard to actually do things and participate in the prep and cooking unless you were aggressive about it. They also had pre-prepped a lot of the food so we were doing very small simple tasks instead of learning step by step recipes. The class was also listed as 4 hours long but we were completely done eating and people were leaving after 3 hours. The staff was really great and made the experience fun, and everything we ate was amazing, but I felt like there were way too many people to feel like I was actually learning anything here.

    So much fun in Paros!

    Wow! This program was exceptional. Maria, the chef and her team were fantastic. We had a group of 15 and we all Help them prepare all the dishes about 7:00 or eight of them. And it was one of the highlights of hardship.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Thank you so much for this fantastic review! 🍽️✨ We are absolutely thrilled to hear that both you and your 16-year-olds had such a great time. It can sometimes be a challenge to find activities that teenagers truly love, so knowing they enjoyed cooking our 7 dishes is the best compliment we could receive! We love using our beautiful outdoor setting to share the joy of Greek food, and we are so glad you appreciated the recipe booklet and the wine flow. We hope you all have a blast recreating those 60+ recipes together back home! Thank you for joining Maria's class!
