Highlights

Learn to make hand-made phyllo pies in a local Athenian home. Christina is passionate about baking traditional phyllo pies using a technique she first learned from her grandmother. After attending culinary school, Christina perfected the phyllo technique by working in a local bakery where she expertly created a wide variety of phyllo pies from scratch. Christina will teach you to make phyllo dough in her kitchen and how to construct a flaky, savory pie. After your pie has baked you will sit at Christina's table and share a meal of her inventive, seasonal Greek dishes. 


This experience offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn to cook one of Greece's best known dishes with a local expert. You will get a real glimpse in to modern Greek life and learn about the culinary traditions that have been passed down through generations of home-cooks.

Itinerary

  • Vrioulon

    Step into Christina’s welcoming kitchen in Athens and discover the centuries-old tradition of Greek pie-making, recognized by UNESCO as part of the Mediterranean diet. This cooking class specializes in phyllo, the delicate, paper-thin dough at the heart of Greece’s beloved savory pies. Begin with a traditional Greek coffee, then enjoy a hands-on lesson in making spanakopita, a quintessential Greek dish. Christina will guide you through every step, starting from scratch with just flour and water. You’ll use seasonal ingredients like wild spinach, local greens, and Greek cheeses to craft your filling. At Christina’s dining table, you’ll roll your dough into thin sheets, learning how to layer it into a light, flaky crust. You’ll leave with printed recipes to recreate the experience at home. The cooking lasts about two hours, followed by a shared meal featuring the spanakopita you made - alongside seasonal dishes Christina has prepared. Enjoy it with Tsipouro, wine, and a delicious dessert. Optional: Join Christina for a 1-hour walking market tour to visit her favorite cheesemonger, deli, and bakery. Learn about traditional Greek ingredients before heading back to cook together.
