Cretan Cooking Class from Rethymno

Let the cooking begin..

After a few km drive, we will arrive at the small and picturesque village of “Nippos” around 11:00 and, just after a short walk through the village for about 15 minutes, we will end up at the main square. Right in front of us lies the traditional taverna, the place where the cooking class will be held. The taverna is located in a slight altitude, so it has amazing views that will accompany us throughout the cooking. Mrs Despoina, our lovely cook, will be waiting for us with a big smile; as always, she offers us the first glass of raki, to help us ... warm up and prepare for our cooking class! Suit up and be impressed by the quality of the organic products; we will use products, that are literally picked up from the backyard of their garden. Juicy tomatoes, fresh cucumbers and aromatic herbs collected by hand are at our disposal. Take a minute to enjoy the fresh smell of these biological products that will be at our disposal today. Starting off the cooking, we will learn how to make delicious ntako (crumbled tomatoes on traditional brusquettes), the classic tzatziki, juicy lachanontolmades, tasty gemista (stuffed vegetables with rice and herbs) and the famous Greek salad, with feta cheese. Also, we will learn how to make the traditional "phyllo" dough and create sweet Cretan cheese pies filled with myzithra cheese. Delicious!
