Marilena is a perfect host. She has created a vegan menu for us that we cooked together in her beautiful cooking studio. I never thought that grilled eggplants could taste so good. This event was a great addition to our visit to Athens. Thank you, Marilena!

That was an impressive cooking class indeed, guys Stam and Spiros are friendly, funny, talented guys and food was very delicious. The most fantastic feature of this dinner is the view to Acropolis. I think that’s the most picturesque view we’ve ever seen while having dinner.
