Indulge in a Sweet Afternoon with Margarita in the Heart of Athens

The experience is hands-on, allowing you to learn the techniques behind some of Greece’s most beloved sweets. You’ll start by preparing classic desserts like Baklava, a rich pastry made with layers of buttery phyllo, nuts, and a silky cinnamon-orange syrup. You’ll also make Galaktoboureko, a traditional dessert featuring phyllo pastry and a semolina custard, which can be served warm in the winter or refreshingly cold in the summer. Other highlights include Semolina Halva, a spiced dessert with hints of cinnamon, lemon, and orange, and Orange Pie, known as Portokalopita, a sweet treat combining phyllo pastry with orange zest, eggs, and milk.

As you create these desserts, Margarita will share stories and tips, ensuring a fun and educational experience. The session concludes with a tasting, where you’ll enjoy the fruits of your labor alongside other guests. You’ll also have the chance to try Spoon Sweets, traditional Greek treats made from seasonal fruits, vegetables, or nuts, typically offered to guests as a gesture of hospitality. Paired with a cup of strong Greek Coffee or soothing Greek Mountain Tea, this sweet afternoon is a perfect blend of flavors and cultural immersion.

Margarita’s Sweet Afternoon is more than just a cooking class; it’s an opportunity to connect with Greek culture in a personal and meaningful way. Whether you’re a dessert lover or simply curious about Greek culinary traditions, this experience will leave you with a special memory of Athens that will stay forever in your heart.
