Summer Cooking for Older Kids: My Big Fat Greek Cooking Class

Immerse yourself in the flavors and aromas of Greece as you prepare time-honored Greek dishes. We’ll make iconic Greek dishes and master the art of working with delicate phyllo dough as you make baklava and spanakopita. This is going to be an action-packed Mediterranean class. Whether you are preparing your child to fly the nest and want him to learn to make inexpensive, healthy meals, or whether you just want to hang out with her in a fun interactive setting, our Monday evening summer series is for you! Opa!

Ages: This series is appropriate for children 12 or older coming alone, or adults coming with a child 10 or older.

Menu:
Spanakopita – a luscious combination of Greek spinach and feta encased in phyllo and folded into triangles
Souvlaki – chunks of chicken marinated in lemon, garlic, oregano, and olive oil oven-roasted and served with house-made pita bread
Tzatziki Sauce – a tangy creamy yogurt, cucumber, and dill sauce to accompany your souvlaki
Classic Greek Salad with Red Wine Vinaigrette –no Greek meal is complete without a refreshing Greek Salad
Traditional Baklava – a beloved Greek dessert with layers of flaky phyllo, chopped walnuts, cinnamon, drenched in a honey syrup

Pricing:
$75: per person
Chef’s Kitchen: Guests in the Chef’s Kitchen cook the same menu as the rest of the class; however, they use the gas cooktop and convection ovens in the Chef’s Kitchen, and they dine at a special table set up for just them.

Cooking Station Assignments:
Two or three people who register together will cook the menu items with each other. Our goal is to have guests do as much as possible in the time allotted given the restrictions of appliances and cooktop space. If you purchase a single adult ticket, you will be assigned to work at a station with another person who purchases a single ticket.

Each person (adult and child) will receive enough ingredients to prepare a generous portion of every menu item or one cake per person for cake decorating classes.

Gratuity:
Leaving a gratuity is not required but appreciated if you enjoyed your cooking experience.
