Greek Cooking Class and Kourouklata Village Tour

A cooking class in Kefalonia is a great option if you want to take home not just a souvenir, but a true Kefalonian experience. Set off on a culinary journey which brings you closer to the island's culture, traditions and authentic hospitality. Dimitra, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Mrs Stavroula is such an enthusiastic teacher, and a great cook. Her Kefalonian riganada – grilled bread topped with tomatoes, onions and fresh herbs – is one of the best I've ever tasted. It's a dish that celebrates the sun-ripened local produce and the flavours of my island.'Once you have arrived in the tucked-away village of Kourouklata, you'll be welcomed with Kefalonian delicacies to whet your appetite. The village is famous for its classical houses, coastal views and friendly locals, who'll make you welcome. There's an opportunity to taste local wines and honey, and to find out about the long journey it takes to create these typical island products.Next, you'll head to the oldest taverna in the village to cook up a storm. Under the guidance of Mrs Stavroula, you'll prepare Greek appetisers like tzatziki and Kefalonian riganada, then roll up your sleeves to make traditional meat pie. While lunch is cooking, take a guided tour of the village. Then it's time to savour the fruits of your labour, accompanied by fine Greek wine. Your journey into the world of Kefalonian cuisine ends with photos, smiles, and you'll get a souvenir recipe scroll, so you can host a Greek night with your friends back home.
