Welcome to our Pita & Gyros Cooking Class, where you’ll learn the art of crafting Greece’s favorite street food from scratch in an inviting, homestyle kitchen setting! This hands-on experience will take you through each step to create an authentic Greek meal that bursts with flavor and tradition. Here’s what you’ll prepare:
Homemade Pita Bread
Knead, roll, and bake soft, fluffy pita bread from scratch, following my grandmother's original recipe. Freshly made, warm pita will be the perfect base for your gyro creation.
Chicken or Pork Gyros
Learn how to marinate and cook juicy chicken or pork gyros, seasoned with classic Greek herbs and spices. This delicious, savory filling is essential to any authentic gyro experience.
Vegetarian Mushroom Gyros (Optional)
For a vegetarian twist, we’ll prepare marinated mushroom gyros, a flavorful alternative with the same delicious seasoning.
Tzatziki Sauce
Create this creamy, refreshing yogurt-based dip with cucumber, garlic, and dill—an essential accompaniment to gyros and a staple of Greek cuisine.
Dakos Salad
Discover the flavors of Crete with Dakos salad, a vibrant mix of ripe tomatoes, barley rusks, crumbled feta, and olive oil. It’s a refreshing and light side to complement your meal.
Greek-Style Cheesecake
Finish off the class with a decadent Greek-style cheesecake, combining the smoothness of cream with a hint of honey and cinnamon for a delightful dessert.

DIONYSIA
Our cooking journey began in our own home kitchen, where we welcomed guests from around the world to experience authentic Greek food. As the demand grew, we moved to a beautiful, handpicked space in the heart of Athens, designed to replicate the warmth and intimacy of our family kitchen. Here, I guide guests through a hands-on experience, creating iconic dishes like pita and gyros from scratch, using recipes passed down through generations. With a deep love for Greek cuisine and storytelling, I not only teach the techniques but also share the cultural significance behind each dish, making every class both delicious and memorable.
