About This Adventure

Experience the vibrant flavors of Greece in a lively meze cooking class! Over three hours, you'll create six delicious mezes and a dessert, perfect for sharing with friends and family. Enjoy traditional Greek spirits like ouzo while learning to bring the essence of Greek hospitality into your home.

Duration: 3 Hours

Welcome to the epitome of Greek food – the Greek meze table. Join our meze class for an evening of laughter, ouzo, and most of all, plate after plate of delectable Greek food.

Mezes (mezedes for plural) means a small plate of hot or cold dish that is served alongside other mezedes. Mezedes have a dual purpose. Firstly to complement the drink (and by drink we mean Greek spirits like ouzo, raki or tsipouro) and then to provide a reason for social gathering.

During this class you will learn to cook at least 6 different meze and a dessert, so when you get back home, you will able to offer your friends and family the best gift from your holidays: a meze experience
