Lefkada: Phyllo Pies Baking Class

Our cooking class begins with a welcoming morning coffee and tea. We start the fire in the wood burning oven and begin to knead our Phyllo dough. We then walk around Lefkada Micro Farm 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 the dough is ready to be stretched, filled and rolled. We then prepare four different filling recipes: cheese pie with Feta cheese, wild greens pie with goat cheese, squash pumpkin pie with walnuts and raisins, Graviera cheese pie with honey and cinnamon. 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 while we will teach you, step by step, how to make traditional mouth-watering Phyllo Pies. By the end of this class you will have acquired the know-how of these authentic Greek delicacies that you’ve seen at local bakeries and always dreamed of making yourself and take the skills and recipes back home with you.
