The Experience
Discover the Flavors of Greece with Souzy’s Beachside Cooking Experience in Alimos
Immerse yourself in the rich culinary traditions of Greece with Souzy’s Pleasant Cooking Experience, set in the vibrant neighborhood of Alimos, part of the renowned Athens Riviera. This 3-hour interactive cooking session is an ideal way to explore the hidden side of Greek culture, all while being just steps away from the beautiful Alimos beach. Souzy’s colorful and tastefully decorated home provides the perfect backdrop for this immersive experience, where you’ll prepare and taste some of Greece’s most iconic dishes.
As you step into Souzy’s cozy home, you’ll be welcomed by her warm hospitality and passion for Greek cuisine. Raised in Thessaloniki, a city famous for its flavorful dishes, Souzy has carried her love for food into her life in Athens. With her background in the tourism industry and her creative flair for handcrafts, Souzy offers more than just a cooking class—she provides an authentic taste of Greek life. During this session, you’ll learn to make traditional Greek dishes, hear about local customs, and share in Souzy’s personal stories, all while enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of her home near the beach.
The cooking experience begins with a Traditional Santorini Fava with Onions, a smooth purée made from yellow split peas, accompanied by Greek Bread, Olive Oil, Olives, and Pickled Cucumber—a perfect start that pairs beautifully with a glass of ouzo, a dry, anise-flavored aperitif. For the salad course, you’ll prepare a classic Greek Salad with Feta Cheese (Horiatiki), made with ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, onions, olive oil, and oregano, offering a fresh and vibrant taste of Greece.
The main course features Traditional Stuffed Tomatoes and Peppers, a beloved Greek dish where vegetables are filled with a flavorful mixture of rice, herbs like spearmint, and optionally ground meat, then baked to perfection. This dish embodies the simplicity and richness of Greek home cooking. To conclude the meal, you’ll indulge in Greek Orange Pie (Portokalopita), a sweet and syrupy orange cake, and a Vanilla Submarine with Mastic Flavor, a unique spoon sweet submerged in a glass of cold water, made from the famous mastic resin of Chios.
Whether you enjoy your meal in Souzy’s warm dining room or take in the stunning sunset views over the sea, this experience will leave you with a special memory of Greece that will stay forever in your heart. Souzy’s home is not just a place to cook but a space to connect, share, and celebrate the joys of Greek culture.
