Greek Lunch Cooking Experience
2026-03-23 11:00 - 13:00, 2026-04-27 11:00 - 13:00, 2026-06-01 11:00 - 13:00 UTC
Take a mid-day culinary trip to the Aegean in this cheerful, hands-on Greek-inspired lunch! Together, we’ll create a menu that’s bright, flavorful, and deeply satisfying — the kind of food that feels like a sunny afternoon by the sea.
We’ll start with Avgolemono, Greece’s beloved egg-lemon-chicken soup. Silky, tangy, and comforting, it’s a perfect balance of richness and freshness. Then we’ll toss a colorful Greek Village Salad loaded with ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, olives, and feta — simple ingredients elevated by a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of oregano.
Next, we’ll head to the grill for Pork Souvlakia, tender marinated skewers served with cool, garlicky Tzatziki and warm, handmade Pitas that puff up beautifully on the griddle. For dessert, we’ll make Portokalopita, a uniquely wonderful orange-scented custard cake made with crisp phyllo — fragrant, decadent, and utterly irresistible.
You’ll learn how to build flavor with citrus, herbs, and olive oil; how to balance richness with brightness; and how to bring the warmth of Greek hospitality to your own table.
This class is a joyful, hands-on escape to the Mediterranean — an ideal way to spend your late morning cooking, laughing, and eating something truly beautiful.

BYOB

We suggest a crisp Assyrtiko, a floral Moschofilero, a dry Rosé from Crete, a light-bodied Agiorgitiko red, or a sweet Muscat of Samos.

About This Greek Cooking Class
Transport yourselves to the sun-drenched shores of the Aegean with a hands-on date night celebrating the bold, fresh, and timeless flavors of Greece. Picture the sparkle of the sea, the warmth of a coastal breeze, and the inviting spirit of a Greek taverna where food, music, and laughter flow freely. This class invites you to share that same warmth as you and your partner roll up your sleeves, cook side by side, and savor the joy of creating a meal together.
You’ll prepare a vibrant feast that captures the heart of Greek cuisine. Start with arni me aginares, tender lamb and artichokes simmered in a silky egg-lemon avgolemono sauce, balancing comfort with bright, citrusy elegance. Then move on to garides saganaki, shrimp baked with feta in a luscious, spicy tomato glaze that’s as dramatic as it is delicious. For a satisfying crunch, you’ll make spanakopitakia, golden spinach-feta triangles wrapped in flaky pastry, perfect for nibbling between sips of wine.The meal continues with fresh, pillowy pita bread baked from scratch and a horiatiki salad, a classic village-style medley of ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, briny olives, and fragrant herbs. To finish, you’ll craft loukoumades—irresistible honey-walnut puffs that are crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and drenched in sweet, sticky goodness.This isn’t just about cooking; it’s about sharing a memorable experience filled with fun, flavor, and Mediterranean hospitality. Whether you’re looking for a romantic evening or simply a joyful night out, you’ll leave with full hearts, satisfied appetites, and a taste of Greece to carry home. Opa!
