For those of you who love cooking and wish to experience real Greek homemade food, then Androniki’s Cretan House is the best choice!
Androniki and Pantelis are two amazing and so gentle people, who organise traditional Cretan cooking lessons in their lovely home.
They love hosting people from all over the world, share experiences and taste the real Greek homemade food with their guests.
The lessons take place in the flowered courtyard of their house and the food is baked in the old-fashion wood oven.
Many of the materials come from their own garden (olive oil, fresh eggs, vegetables) and the rest come from farmers in the surrounding area.
Your visit starts with a warm welcome with Cretan herbal tea and kallitsounia (cheese pies with homemade cheese and honey) and of course chatting to get to know each other.
The cooking lesson is interactive and most recipes are baked in the wood-oven.
The activity includes five recipes:
- moussaka,
- gemista (vine leaves, zucchini flowers and vegetables stuffed)
- homemade cheese with fresh sheep milk
- giouvarlakia (meat bowls in egg-lemon sauce)
- tzatziki
For vegetarian guests:
- boureki (zucchini, potatoes, homemade cheese)
