Cook With Locals Greek Cuisine – RY Marketplace
-Getting to know our traditional cuisine -Cooking and enjoying the meal you have prepared youself
In Greece, traditionally, lunch is the largest meal of the day. Lunch (especially Sunday’s one) usually takes the form of a feast where all the family meets, discusses (loudly), laughs, drinks and argues about everything.
During this class you will learn how to cook a 5 courses simple, traditional Greek lunch/dinner, which we will all devour afterwards around our big table, while talking, laughing and drinking good Greek wine.
Sample menu
- Spanakopita or Tiropita (spinach pie OR Cheese pie) with phyllo pastry made from scratch
- Tzatziki (yogurt dip with cucumber and garlic)
- Greek salad (our way)
- Main course (pastitsio OR moussaka OR chicken soup avgolemono OR pork with leeks and celery OR chicken yiouvetsi)
- a Greek dessert
Who This Experience Is Good For – Foodies and people interested in Traditional food
– People who love cooking
Mariana has created a cozy environment where she teach how to cook traditional Greek food the way Greek mothers and grandmothers used to do. But also, since she believes that cooking should be joyful and creative, sometimes she uses the traditional recipes as a guide to come up with something new.
Her small sized classes encourage remotes to truly participate and immerse themselves in the cooking process.
