Discover the Essence of Greek Cuisine: Homemade Pita Gyros from Scratch

About

Welcome to our cozy kitchen in the heart of Athens! What started as a humble adventure in our seaside home has grown into a thriving culinary experience loved by locals and travelers alike. After welcoming thousands of guests into our kitchen, we took a leap of faith—leaving our jobs and bringing our cooking experience to the city center. Here, in a space lovingly designed to mirror our own home kitchen, we’re excited to share the joy of Greek cooking with you.

This hands-on experience is all about creating Greece’s most iconic street food: pita gyros. No shortcuts, no pre-made ingredients—just you, me, and fresh ingredients to craft every component from scratch. Together, we’ll prepare the dough for soft, pillowy pita bread, and I’ll show you the secrets to seasoning and cooking gyros five different ways, so you can make this beloved dish your own.

For dessert, indulge in one of my favorite Greek sweets: either Patsabouropita or a delightful Greek-style cheesecake—perfect treats to end a hearty meal.

This class is more than cooking—it’s a journey into Greek culture. Come hungry and leave with skills, stories, and delicious memories that will last a lifetime!

This immersive, hands-on class will guide you through every step to craft an authentic Greek meal, rich in 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 cherished recipe. Warm, freshly made pita will serve as the perfect base for your gyros.

Master the art of marinating and cooking juicy chicken or pork gyros, seasoned with traditional Greek herbs and spices. This savory filling is essential to any classic gyro.

• Vegetarian Mushroom Gyros (Optional)

For a plant-based twist, we’ll prepare marinated mushroom gyros, packed with the same delicious flavors for a satisfying vegetarian option.

• Tzatziki Sauce

Make this creamy, refreshing dip with yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and dill—an essential pairing for gyros and a staple of Greek cuisine.

• Spicy Feta Spread

Blend creamy feta cheese with chili peppers and herbs to create a bold, zesty spread that will ignite your taste buds.

End the class on a sweet note with Greek-style cheesecake, featuring a smooth texture with hints of honey and cinnamon for a delightful dessert.
