The Real Taste Of Greece

Join us on a culinary adventure through the charming streets of Corfu! Our journey begins at the Old Port parking area, where we will meander through picturesque alleys to the lively open fruit and fish market. There, we'll select the freshest organic products harvested just hours earlier from the island's lush fields, while listening to the passionate vendors compete with each other for our attention at the top of their voices. The enticing aroma of fresh fish, vegetables, fruit, and herbs will be an unforgettable sensory experience! After bargaining for the best prices with the friendly vendors, we'll head to a quaint local shop for some delicious dairy products, cheese, and traditionally baked bread. Once we've gathered all our supplies, we'll be whisked away to a serene country home, where an expert chef will teach us how to prepare mouthwatering Greek dishes. Upon arrival, we'll be treated with local delicacies as a warm welcome, and we'll have the choice to participate in the cooking process or simply relax and watch as our ingredients create dishes. Using traditional techniques and a wood-fired oven, we'll cook our meals perfectly, just like our mothers and grandmothers used to do. All of our ingredients are sourced locally and are fresh, organic, and bursting with flavour. This experience is not just about learning how to cook, but also about experiencing the authentic Greek hospitality and warmth that make us feel like part of a family. Come and immerse yourself in the greatness of Greek cuisine and enjoy a few relaxing hours with us!
