Embark on a culinary journey designed for those yearning to discover 'The Simple Cretan Life.' This experience is crafted for souls genuinely open to immersing themselves in the heart of Cretan gastronomy, where every dish is a dance of tradition and flavor, going beyond the ordinary Greek recipes.
Teaming up with my mother, we're here to passing down not just recipes but a legacy of love for simple, tasty, and nourishing Cretan food cultivated over more than three generations.
Our aim is not just to teach you cooking techniques but to invite you into our family. In the warmth of our kitchen, where laughter and love are our secret ingredients, you'll not only savor the flavors but feel the heartbeat of Cretan culture. Food, to us, is a celebration—a symphony of scents, tastes, and shared moments.
Last but not least, we take pride in customizing our cooking classes to accommodate your preferences and needs, whether it's a significant allergy or a vegetarian lifestyle.

5.00My family and I (including two children, ages 11 and 13) participated in a cooking class hosted by Marianna, her mother and grandmother. It was such a wonderful experience! We got so much out of it - not just learning how to cook a few different dishes, but also about Cretan cuisine and most importantly, about Cretan culture. We cooked and spent time as family would, and it was such a wonderful exposure to the Greek culture. They were all so hospitable, sharing knowledge and kindness. My kids felt at home and it was so lovely seeing how even her grandmother interacted with everyone. Highly recommend this experience, especially if you're interested in understanding the people and culture. Thank you Marianna (and family)! I've made Stifado a few times since returning. :)

5.00What an amazing experience! Marianna was a wonderful teacher and her mother Stella was lots of fun. Food prep and the meal after was fun and informative. Since it was late in the season, we had a small group of only us and another couple. We had lots of fun with them.
A Memorable Experience and Bring Your Appetite!

5.00It was such a wonderful outdoor setting, surrounded by the family orchard, pets, and Cretan sunset. Hands on cooking class using local ingredients, some right from the family farm, was informative and well orchestrated by Marianna and her mom. We enjoyed the dishes after class and had take home leftovers as well.
Highly recommended
