Authentic Cretan Cooking Class In Ozlem’s Home In Crete

Menu & tasting

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Join Ozlem for a hands-on cooking class in her home kitchen in Roustika, a charming village in central Rethymno, Crete, with rich Venetian history and stunning architecture. In your two hour Cretan cooking class learn to make artichokes with peas and meat or fish or stuffed vegetables or Cretan chicken pie and a wild green salad. Or you can learn to make handmade pitas with a filling of your choice (greens or Cretan cheese or meat). Please let Ozlem know your preference in advance. She will also share stories behind food that you're cooking and tip and tricks that she learned from her grandmother. After cooking, sit down together to share the meal you helped prepare.
