Angelina’s class in Mykonos Chora centers on touch and timing: folding filo until it crinkles, coaxing shrimp saganaki into a tomato bath, and assembling baklava layers that hold the island’s late-summer honey. The lesson is domestic and local—she favors fish from the nearby fishmongers and vegetables from day markets, and often pours a small ouzo while she explains ingredient choices and regional variations.
Mykonos’s food culture grew from seafaring and subsistence farming: simple, salty, and built to last. The island’s limestone soils and Aegean winds shape tomato and herb flavors, while fishing traditions supply the saganaki and grilled calamari on the menu.
Practically, expect a three-hour session that can include a 45-minute market stroll if you add the option. Small groups of 2–4 cook in Angelina’s Chora home (a 5–10 minute walk from the Sea Bus or taxi drop); larger groups are hosted with return transport included. Classes run seasonally, May–October; book early in summer.
Come ready to stand, knead, and taste. Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes for the short walk and kitchen work, bring a camera, and flag dietary needs in advance—Angelina adapts recipes for vegetarians. The payoff is a communal meal of your own making, wine and stories included, and a clearer sense of Cycladic cooking that you can recreate at home.
