Full description

Shop like a local at the fruit market, and prepare traditional Greek recipes with a cooking class. Then, feast on a delicious homemade lunch in an idyllic family environment. Meet your local food expert at the Old Port and stroll through the narrow alleys to Corfu’s open market. Together with your host, buy organic products harvested from the Corfiot fields only hours before. Embrace the vibrant atmosphere, and feel the smell of fresh fish, vegetables, fruit, and herbs. Next, stop by a local's deli shop to buy milk, cheese, and bread baked in an oven. Once ready with the supplies, the host will take you to a country home, where the chef will show you how to prepare and cook traditional Greek recipes using a wood oven. Enjoy some local delicacies as a welcome gift. Either drive to the villa on your own or jump into the minivan (depending on the option you choose) and drive through the magnificent Corfiot countryside to reach the cooking class. Decide if you prefer to participate “hands-on” or just watch the cooking preparation. Whichever your choice, spend a few relaxing hours as part of a Greek family. After the cooking class ends, experience the unique Greek hospitality and atmosphere with a delicious meal and good company before driving or being transferred back to Corfu.

Wonderful cooking class in Corfu! George was a fantastic tour guide, so passionate about his culture and food. We started with a trip to the local market to buy vegetables, bread, and cheese. George knew so much history of Corfu. Then we drove to his lovely home to prepare and enjoy the meal. A perfect day!

We (me and my partner) thoroughly enjoyed this authentic Greek cooking class. We had a small group of 8 people and started at the local market in Corfu where we bought fresh ingredients. Along the way, George provided interesting info about the market, the ingredients as well as the city. After that, we relocated to George's beautiful countryside home/villa, where the cooking class takes place. The class is hands-on and teaches you about various foods and some handy tricks. We helped to prepare various meals and were guided by a qualified chef. Once ready it was time to eat the various dishes and they were extremely tasteful, we were totally full and satisfied. George is a perfect host and a nice person to enjoy this experience with, we also had a very nice group of people. Highly recommended to anyone who would like to enjoy authentic Greek cooking with a very relaxed atmosphere.

George was an excellent guide for our group. He picked us up on time and started with a tour of the local markets for food. His knowledge was informative and interesting. The cooking part was hands on and food divine. We are treated like family and I wished we could’ve spent more time. This tour was a highlight of my trip and would recommend it to anyone traveling to Corfu.
