There are a few classes you can choose when in chania,Crete however, if you want a true, authentic, warm experience, you should absolutely select this one run by Veerna with her brother Costa. Veerna is the real deal .. full of knowledge and passion for the cretan foods. She also goes over a lot of the historic reasons why certain foods are cooked either in stone ovens or Open flame. Really was a very interesting and experience. Everyone was friendly, Her kitchen setup was incredible. (Covered areas for the hot Greek Sun right on her beautiful Olive Grove farm with some animals nearby). Quite close to the main town but far enough to give you a real countryside experience. She also bottles some oils and olives and goods from her farm, Sourced right there. Everything is fresh. Everything is fun and she is a lovely woman who knows how to organize and run a group experience. Other classes we have been to on different islands did not even come close to this. We could not this highly enough!!! We had the greatest with Veerna and Costa in their class. There was a total of 16 in the and we felt that everyone had equal opportunity to partake in the preparation of our dinner. What a evening as we met many from across the world and enjoyed this authentic Cretan meal. Thank you! It was such a experience. Veerna is a really nice person and her too. The group was mixed from all continents and we had a time. So food and everything was very well explained. All the ingredients came frome there home or were local. We had breaks between the meals and had to talk and get to know better. The place was really beautiful with sheep's, chickens, olive trees and so on. I really that course if you stay around Chania. Thank you so much for that day. with Veerna and Kostas was the highlight of our trip! We got lucky enough to have a private by default and it was like we were just hanging out with our own family. The food that we made was delicious! They used the highest quality ingredients and most were sourced locally from their own gardens (or their friends). We even got to use the olive oil from their own olive groves on the property. When I come back to Crete, I will definitely come back and book a here. It was so fun and I learned so much! We did three classes during our in Greece and this was BY FAR our favorite class. We made AMAZING food, enjoyed getting to meet Veerna and her family, and got a tour of her Olive grove. I would highly this class! Our afternoon with Veerna and her was absolutely fantastic - one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. She was very knowledgeable and approachable and made it so easy to prepare a lot of dishes. We started with lamb, then moved on to the stuffed veggies. We even made our own phyllo dough for spinach and cheese pies. A truly marvelous - efcharisto!! Hands down best we have ever taken. Veerna and her brother and nephew were so personable they made the evening so enjoyable. We prepared a traditional Cretan meal which was outstanding. It was the best meal we have had thus far in Crete! Amazing food, company and a beautiful setting. Highly you doing this if visiting Crete! First visit to Crete for our with two 11 and 15 year old boys who have a fascination with Greek mythology. Both expressed (surprising) interest in joining a and I stumbled across this from a review on Reddit initially. We really enjoyed our trip out of Chania to Veerna's school (easily arranged by taxi or self-drice). Veerna, Costa and Alex were and they make you feel at home right away in their self built kitchen in the middle of an olive grove. Veerna is delightful and approachable and the boys joined in happily even where they were convinced initially that they didn't like certain ingredients! Costa and Alex are both adept assistants, keeping a clean kitchen in the background and providing supplies/equipment as required whilst Veerna sociably shares her cultural history and cookery skills with all. A tasty and plentiful supply of food was the result with leftovers to take with you. Local wine and soft drinks were also provided. (The dakos Veerna made were better than the ones provided for breakfast at our hotel!). We joined a relaxed group of 10 in total, alongside another and a couple. A fabulous, well organised activity to do for all ages whether you can cook or not. Sunshine, fun, chat, cultural education and a meal included, what more do you need! Would whole heartedly recommend! We had the most fun and lovely with Veerna and her family, who was witty, engaging, sweet and extremely well prepared; while being very homy and comfortable, we were equipped with all the necessary knowledge about Cretan tradition and about the preparation process of every dish. It is highly recommended for couples (we were there on our honeymoon). The atmosphere and the company were lovely and the dinner, needless to say, was glorious! I hope we'll come back. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Crete. The food we made (and ate!) was the best we had during our entire stay. We also met some incredible people (and the sweetest puppies!), which made the day even more special. We can’t wait to come back and take the bread-making next time. If you’re thinking about booking this class—do it! You won’t regret it. This was one of my favorite activities that I did in Chania! This is a run business and they truly make you feel like a part of the family. You learn how to make some of the classic Cretan dishes. Come with an empty stomach because you will EAT! The food is delicious! And you will be able to recreate the dishes at home. To top it off the is in the most beautiful setting!!! The farm is gorgeous! So glad I took this class! What a wonderful we had this past Thursday! My daughter and I enjoyed very much the friendly and warm welcome by Veerna in her charming school setting ! The whole and food prepared were definitely one of the highlights of our winter stay in Chania . Our day was memorable throughout and there was enough leftover food to bring to my husband who also loved the Cretan recipes. It is really a gem of a place, do not miss it !! My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed this with Veerna and her family. She shared the history of the food, along with how to prepare it, which really enhanced the experience. The location was absolutely lovely, the food was delicious, and the company was a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed the informal question and answer period during dinner where we were able to ask questions we'd had about Greece while we'd been traveling the two weeks prior to taking the class. I highly taking this class. We had a wonderful at Veerna's School! The was incredibly welcoming, and the food was delicious. We especially loved using their own olive oil and herbs, and appreciated receiving the recipes to recreate the dishes at home. We hope to return someday! Our of 6 had an amazing at Veerna's kitchen. Veerna and her are warm, friendly, knowledgeable hosts who share their property and their knowledge of Crete, its food and generously with all the participants. The setting is beautiful, the food is some of the best we had on our trip, and the as a whole was a highlight for us. You'll take home leftovers, recipes, and incredible memories! Veerna’s was the best part of our 2-week vacation to Europe. There were just 7 of us making the thieve’s meal, so we all were able to share in pulling the feast together. We had a dietary restriction among our group, but Veerna was quick to make an adjustment so that everyone could have a similar experience. Alex was a big help, too, with patient instruction and joyful raki toasts! Thank you so much for this amazing experience! Veerna's was one of the highlights of our trip! We took two classes, the traditional Cretan meal and the bread baking class. Veerna, Kostos(Veerna's brother), and Alex(Kostos' son) were some of the most wonderful people we got to know. Veerna was a teacher and very patient in everything we did. They provided everything we cooked, and it turned out delicious!! We cooked lamb, vegetables, bread, and so much more! We cooked everything in an oven outside. It was the first I had baked bread so it was so cool!! You could pick out different flavors to make. My husband did garlic, and I copied Kostos' and made sweet bread! It was sooooo good!! You will not be disappointed! Our had a wonderful time, and so thank you Veerna, Kostos, and Alex!!! We had the most amazing at the with Vierna, Costa and Alex. They were all so welcoming and really took the to get to know you before anything. We came for our honeymoon and it was the best we could have asked for. This was our highlight to Crete and would it to anyone. The food was absolutely incredible and we can’t wait to be back one day. Veerna and her are the kindest and most hospitable which made for an unforgettable class. But it’s not just a class, it’s educational and social. You learn about the food while preparing it while also meeting so many other people from around the world. I got home and within 24 hours made three of her recipes from memory. Some of the best food I had in Greece was made with Veerna and her family. personal experience! This was my favorite thing we did on our trip to Crete! They are so nice and very enthusiastic about what they do. It’s such a hands on and I learned so much. They send you the recipes so you can later recreate them back home. Could not enough!
