YAYA'S GREEK FEAST

Greeks are famous for their home-cooked, savory and generously portioned meals with family gathered — singing, dancing and eating! Greek recipes are passed down from Yaya (grandmother) by showing rather than writing down recipes. So, we recreated those hands-on recipes from our favorite yayas from Santorini, Crete, Rhodes, Corfu, and Athens for this popular cooking class. Learn to make healthy, comforting Greek-inspired dishes, imbibe in our favorite Cretan Rose cocktail and plan your next party around the recipes you master.
