Cooking school/class in Athens?

Hello.
Does anyone know of a cooking school or cooking classes in Athens? Will be there this week and would love to take a class for a few hours.

Merci!

    I took a class last winter in Athens. It was sponsered by the Gourmet monthly supplementary by Eleftherotypia. It was held in Greek and it ran once a week for a month with a fairly well known Athenian chef ( who's name escapes me now). It's a demonstration styled class, not hands-on and I would say it's really a beginner course. He demonstrations were more meditteranean recipes as opposed to strictly Greek recipes.

      Hi LaFemmeNikita!

      Here is a link to culinary schools in Athens, maybe you could contact them and see if they offer classes: http://chef2chef.net/culinary-institu...

      But most of the cooking classes I've heard of are spring/summer sessions in the Islands.

      I also hold monthly cooking classes in my home usually for groups of 10-12. I have already given my class for this month, but I could tailor something for you and your travel partners if you like, with whichever Greek recipes you prefer out of my repertoire.

        Hi there, do you still offer cooking classes? I'm going to be coming through Athens at the end of May and was trying to find somewhere a friend and I could spend a few hours learning to make spanakopita and maybe a few other items.
