Cooking classes
Cretan traditional cuisine is a way of life
It is simple without extra spices or flavor enhancers but only with a great amount of imagination. If you are interested in Cretan cuisine, Greek food or you just love cooking, we invite you to participate in the Cretan traditional cooking lessons that are hosted in our home, in a small, traditional village close to the town of Rethymno we cooking for many many years. At our garden, we cultivate organic vegetables and fruits for our needs. You can enjoy the Cretan cuisine because We like to take care of our land and produce our own olive oil.
We cook, taste and share with them, the magic of the traditional Cretan cuisine!!! Seasonal greens, herbs, fruits, wild greens, fresh milk, fresh meat and of course the gold of Cretan land, the olive oil. With these ingredients, we are preparing the dishes that are known from our grandmothers and are part of the Cretans daily diet. We wish to give to friends of Crete, the experience of our true life and true traditional food, far from tourist attractions!!!
The menu can be modified for our vegetarian guests.
During the lesson, we will give you useful information regarding the Cretan diet. At the end of the lesson, we will make a gastronomic feast where you will enjoy all the dishes we have prepared together.
