About Us
Originally from St. Paul, Minnesota, I met my husband while he was in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and after a LOT of long-distance, eventually I moved to Greece in 2011.  

While my husband is originally from Thessaloniki, I have been amazed with how much I’m still discovering about the city every day!  

We have always been lovers of food. When it's lovingly and delicately crafted, it’s something akin to how certain kinds of music and art have the power to move through you and touch your deepest self.

After over five years, my appreciation and fascination for the food of Greece continues to grow, and my hope is to pass along some of this enthusiasm for all things Greek to you.

Other than Greek food, frequently we can be found enjoying aimless walks with our dog Rosie, or I might be trying yet again to finish one of my many sewing projects.

About the Cooking Tour

It's all around fun, food and togetherness! 

Though with this tour you'll get to learn something along the way! 
Each food tasting will include a live interactive food demonstration, so you get to take home some Greek yummy food ideas with you.
 How about an 'OPA'?

Thessaloniki has an endless number of possibilities for food, and after exploring the city’s many food ‘districts’, ‘off the beaten path’, and ‘hole in the wall’ establishments, we have compiled our 'best of the best" and want to share it with you!  

We've made positive food memories/experiences our business, so you can make enjoying your time here your business - because life is short, right?
 
The restaurants we've chosen are on the list because they've consistently been creating the best in Greek traditional food and singularly light up their food -- through their playful selection of flavors, use of fresh ingredients, and their own special creative culinary import or vision.   

OK - so what else?

The evening will be a progressive three-course meal experience, meaning each of the courses is enjoyed at a different restaurant. Yes, we know – that’s three great restaurants in one evening!  

This is ideal for those only staying a day or a couple of days, because you get a packed taste experience through sampling three different restaurants in one evening.  
  
The menu has been hand-selected and offers tour participants a sumptuous tasting of a typical Greek traditional menu, while ALONGSIDE an interactive food demonstration will be happening. 

So keep your eyes peeled -- because after seeing the courses demonstrated for you - you'll want to make them at home.

We start with μεζέδες or appetizers at your first restaurant to set your taste buds in motion, and move onto the second restaurant for the κυρίως πιάτα or main plate/entrée, and then it’s onto third restaurant to enjoy the επιδόρπιο or dessert – a whole taste ταξίδι or journey in one night.
