I enjoyed getting my hands in the food and learning new recipes. There was a lot of down time in between recipes, and I thought we were learning 4 recipes not 3. However the experience was wonderful. Maria was a great teacher.

The cooking class contacted me the night before to tell me that the transfer which was supposed to be included wasn't included and that I was only person signed up for the class - I would get a refund if I cancelled they said BUT that has not happened and they told me to do it on website which won't let me do it. So very disappointing and frustrating not to get the refund I was promised.

This cooking class was so much fun! We were hesitant at first about doing it because it was a little ways out of the Heraklion, where we were staying, but boy were we so glad we did it!!! Natasha was so kind and welcoming and SO patient in helping us with our cooking and the food was AMAZING, we couldn’t even eat all of the food because there was SO much, so you definitely WILL NOT leave feeling hungry! If we ever get back to Crete we would absolutely take this class again, what a perfect way to spend the day learning how to cook some delicious Greek/Cretan dishes! The tzatziki sauce was so delicious, we ended up taking the rest of it with us back to our hotel to eat! A MUST DO FOR CRETE!!!

Absolutely amazing! The host was funny and super knowledgeable. I had a great time cooking all these traditional dishes and eating them together with the other members of the group. It felt very authentic. Also, the driver who took us was punctual and made us feel comfortable during the trip. Highly recommended!

I was really looking forward to the class. The booking experience was easy and communication to arrange the transport was great. We arrived at Angela's home and received a warm welcome. The atmosphere was great, there was 3 other participants in the class. The description listed 6 dishes but we only cooked 3 of them. We did have all 6 dishes for our lunch but we only prepared 3 of them. When I asked if we are making a Greek salad (listed in a sample menu) I was told that I can make my own Greek salad. I think this was meant to be a joke but I did not find it funny. We did not get any recipes as per description. Angela was very friendly but I do not think the experience matched the description and I found it a bit expensive for what was actually delivered.

Angelina is a lovely, bubbly shef who took us step by step through the recipes.
And since we were such amazing shefs 😉 once it was cooked we got to eat it with some lovely wine and raki and it tasted amazing.
Loved it.
