Cours de cuisine grecque traditionnelle et déjeuner bio à Poros

Hands down one of the best activities we have done in Greece was this Greek cooking 🥘 class. It exceeded my imagination -from picking the herbs 🌿 in the garden the aromas of simmering sauces and fresh cut produce 🍅 and many tasting spoons 🥄 . We yielded about nine dishes from appetizers, salads, entrées, and cocktails. Our multi-aged cohort of seven "chefs" were from Austria the Netherlands and Sweden in the USA We ended experience dining alfresco on what we cooked. Conversation, laughs and wine embellished the whole experience

We had a brilliant time with Caterina learning how to make some delicious Greek recipes from all locally sourced and farm ingredients. Caterina made it such fun for all the family, and we had an experience we will never forget. A true highlight of our Greek holiday. We will definitely be back!

Amazing evening. Learnt so many little tips, made some really special recipes, and really enjoyed the company of the team.

Can’t recommend Odyssey’s farm cookery course enough. Katerina was a wonderful teacher and host, and taught so many dishes - cooked calamari for the first time, zucchini flowers stuffed with feta and spinach, Greek meatballs and gorgeous roast beetroot and pepper were just a few of my favourites. Katerina made our fellow cook’s 45th wedding anniversary a special occasion by making a delicious Greek berry pie with us to help them celebrate, and allowed my reluctant chef husband to have a refreshing swim in the pool while we enjoyed learning about locally grown and produced Greek ingredients and cuisine. Thankyou so much Katerina.. today has been one of the highlights of our Greek island tour! 😀

I spent a few days in Poros on my own and came across this activity when researching how to spend my time. Curiosity got the better of me, and I’m so glad it did! I was a little nervous about joining solo, but I was greeted with such warmth and kindness by both the other participants and the wonderful Odyssey team. Our host, Katerina, walked us through SEVEN (!!) traditional Greek dishes, which she had learned from her mother. Everything was made vegetarian, so it’s perfect for anyone who prefers not to have meat or fish. The dishes ranged from preparing dough for cakes, bread, and pastry-like dishes to stuffing vegetables. It was so fun to get hands-on and learn more about Greek cuisine and how different ingredient groups (like herbs and vegetables) feature in everyday meals. One thing I especially loved was the emphasis on sustainability and minimizing waste. Most of the food, even the olive oil (!), is grown and made by the Odyssey team. They also experiment with recipes to make the most of each ingredient and reduce waste. I find inspiring as it’s clearly a fundamental value of their business and so important at this time. And of course — the food was absolutely delicious! I’m sure that was partly due to our group’s incredible talents (sarcasm here :Dd) — but mostly thanks to the passionate, fun, and thorough way everything was taught. We had great tools, and the guidance was kind and supportive the whole way through. In total, the experience took about five hours. And they flew by. It’s hard to even call it a class, because despite starting as strangers, everyone felt so warm and friendly, more like a group of friends cooking together. I genuinely have nothing negative to say about this experience. If you’re visiting Poros and looking for something special to do, you must visit Odyssey for this incredible cooking class. Thank you!!
