Wow! What an amazing and fun evening experience we had with Stella! There is nothing like learning new cooking method with someone that not only can cook but also pass on a deep understanding of the culture. This class was my wife's dream when we decided to visit Greece but I joined in (why not?) and had fun as well. Of course, I was allowed to only participate where they were not afraid I would hurt myself!
We walked from old town to Stella's house with little trouble. Stella met us and we talked for a few minutes to get to know each other. Then the fun began. We cooked a four course meal plus a dessert. All the ingredients were fresh. There was more than enough food--one thing I was good at was taste testing the food as it was prepared so when it came to actually eating it, I was full. The total time was about 3 hours and we would have loved to sit and talk with Stella for more if we could.
This is a lot of value in this activity: for those that like to cook, those that want to learn a little more about Crete and Greek food, and even for those that tag along.
