I want to give this 10/5 stars! Christina took us into her lovely Athens home and treated us like family. By the end we had made the best spanakopita I've had in Greece, shared stories, and had an authentic Athenian experience. Christina is also a tour guide so she will have many recommendations and answers to your questions about the city. I cannot recommend this enough, seriously.

Oh my God! This was by far the most fun I have had in Athens. Christina taught my husband and I (and 3 others in our group) how to prepare authentic Greek phyllo dough from scratch in her kitchen. She will teach you to make the ubiquitous flaky Greek dough - starting with flour and water! - and together you will prepare a traditional pie. She will teach you, step by step, how to make the pie filling using seasonal ingredients like wild spinach and other greens and a variety of fresh cheeses (you might mix the filling in the sink since it is her biggest receptacle!). You mix the dough, learn to roll it into paper-thin sheets on her dining table, and layer the pie with the filling. She will show you how to carefully lay the delicate sheets of phyllo in the pan, which results in a light, crispy pie.

A truly original experience.
Coming from Italy, I value traditional cuisine and a welcoming culture. I couldn’t find a better experience than the one offered by Christina. A great host with deep knowledge of and passion for Greek cuisine, opens her house to share this ever lasting tradition of Greek phyllo with the world.

Christina was a gracious host, and wonderful culinary teacher who we had the pleasure of spending some time with on our trip to Greece. We made a delicious classic spinach pie together, phyllo and all, and she was kind enough to include cooking saganaki with us after we mentioned we were curious about making it. She also prepped some side dishes we could enjoy with the main dished which were very tasty as well. What I'll remember most is the welcoming environment she creates, and her thoughtful conversation, and her cat too :)
