Traditional Cooking Class

Aegean cuisine as seen through nature

Discover the authentic flavors of the Aegean by learning how local communities collect, prepare, and cook seasonal herbs using traditional methods.

You will begin by identifying edible herbs found in nature—especially abundant during spring. In March and April, you gather wild herbs growing in olive groves and prepare them using traditional techniques with cold-pressed olive oil.

During summer and autumn, you visit a local farmers’ market to select fresh vegetables before cooking them together. Your culinary experience concludes with a tasting accompanied by local wines.
