Agni, a proud native of Northern Greece, brings a lifetime of culinary expertise to her hands-on cooking classes in Thessaloniki, Macedonia.
Raised in a village where food was the heart of family life, she grew up surrounded by the rich flavors and traditions of Greek cuisine, and spent over 30 years as a seasoned professional at one of Thessaloniki’s top restaurants.
Her warmth and genuine hospitality make every class not just a lesson but a joyful and memorable experience rooted in village cooking heritage.
Step into the heart of Thessaloniki and immerse yourself in the culinary heritage of Northern Greece with Agni’s 4-hour hands-on cooking class in her home in the vibrant district of Toumba.
This immersive northern Greek cooking experience in Macedonia celebrates recipes passed down through generations, using fresh seasonal ingredients sourced from local markets and farms.
Start with a crisp seasonal salad, then master the traditional and hearty Stuffed Cabbage Rolls — filled with ground pork and rice and topped with a rich egg-lemon sauce.
End on a sweet note with a delectable Sweet Twisted Pumpkin Pie, encapsulating the comforting flavors of the Greek countryside.
Two glasses of Northern Greece’s famed “black and sour” local red wine, known for its deep color and fruity notes, are perfectly paired to enhance the meal.
