This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Join Ozlem in her small kitchen for a hands-on Greek cooking class. In your two hour Cretan cooking class in Chania learn to make artichokes with peas and meat or fish or stuffed vegetables or Cretan chicken pie and a wild green salad. Or you can learn to make handmade pitas with a filling of your choice (greens or Cretan cheese or meat). Please let Ozlem know your preference in advance. She will also share stories behind food that you're cooking and tip and tricks that she learned from her grandmother. After cooking, sit down together to share the meal you helped prepare. If you select the optional market visit, meet your host at the Koum Kapi farmers' market on Saturday morning. You will get to meet local producers selling fresh, local and seasonal fruits, vegetables, cheese, edible wild greens and herbs. Ozlem will explain to you how to pick fresh produce and you might even buy a few ingredients for your cooking class from her favorite vendors. Drink some Greek coffee before heading to Ozlem's apartment for your cooking class and meal experience, a 4-5 minute drive by taxi.
