5.00We loved our time at Marianna's. Booking was easy and communication was fast over both Viator and WhatsApp. The location is rural and beautiful though Marianna has built a beautiful open modern and clean space that blends nicely into the landscape. She and her mom welcomed us with farm fresh drinks and an overview of what to expect. The class was organized and well thought out so we were able to do a lot of cooking but the pace was relaxed. So much fun! It was a night of good food and good company with lots of food to take home. We were really impressed with Marianna's warmth and kindness. She's created really a unique experience for the traveler to Crete. Kudos to Marianna!

5.00If ever you wanted to try traditional to cook Cretian dishes this is the place to go. Marianna and her mother Stella are phenomenal. We also got to meet some of the other members of the family. Grandma was so sweet. As for the dishes that Mariana and her mother taught us to prepare consisted of four courses the first course was a lamb with tomato base, fennel, and potatoes. We also prepared a dish that consisted of bread, cheese, grated tomato and oregano. This in itself was filling. In addition to the main and the appetizer we also prepared stuffed grape leaves and stuffed pumpkin flowers, which were aromatic and and very tasty. For the dessert we prepared a pastry stuffed with a sweet cheese and cinnamon so delicious. I can't say how much my wife and I enjoyed this experience. Thank you Mariana and family for such a wonderful evening and the sun sets on your farm are beautiful. I highly recommend this if you ever visit the island of Crete.
