Eat with your Greek Cousin keeps things relaxed: grab a drink from the fridge and get your hands in the dough. The signature class teaches pita gyros from scratch, from the bread to tzatziki and a spicy feta spread, finishing with patsavouropita or a Greek-style cheesecake, and there is a vegetarian or vegan version. A market-to-table class starts at the open-air market and ends with yemista, moussaka or pastitsio, salad and flat pita breads. Recipes go home with you. Our advice: book the gyros class if you want to recreate street food at home, directly on the school’s own site.
