Lefkada: Traditional Greek Cooking Class

Our cooking class starts with a welcoming morning coffee and tea. We start the fire in the wood burning oven and we begin to knead our dough. We then walk around Lefkada Micro Farm to harvest vegetables for our lunch and learn how our food grows. Get to know our trees, our vegetables and our animals. By the time we get back to the kitchen the oven is already hot and ready to bake our loaves. We prepare the vegetables for the Briam (roasted mixed vegetables) and place it in the oven. By the time the main dish is cooked we’ve already prepared the Greek salad and Tzatziki using the freshest vegetables, goat cheese and traditional sheep yoghurt from small local dairies. Finally, we sit together in our open air kitchen and enjoy what we’ve prepared.

An opportunity to take a break from the blue of our beautiful island and go green – enjoy the peaceful Greek countryside and off the tourist beaten beaches. Interact with fellow visitors and create a nutritious and delicious lunch together.

Harvest organic vegetables of the highest quality and learn to prepare the iconic Greek dishes we all love. Fulfil the dream of being a Farm-to-Table Chef! And best of all, take these skills and recipes back home with you.
