Review for Cooking Class with Chef Viva
5/5
Wow! When can we go back?
Our family of 5 (ranging in age from 17 to 81), stopped in Argostoli (Cephanlonia) while on an Oceania cruise. Every trip we try and take a cooking class, so we have had experiences around the world; the experience with Our experience with Viva and George ranked among the highest.
We made our way from the port to their home with a driver they had arranged for us in advance. We were warmly welcomed and over the next several hours had an inside look into their lifestyle--everything is homemade either by them or their friends... including the olive oil, vinegar, tomato paste, cheese, and most of the fruits and vegetables too.
During our visit, we received inside tips and made moussaka, cod, salad, and tzatziki. And while we were cooking, we snacked on local olives, cheese, bread and wine.
After cooking, conversation spanning a variety of topics, and exploring the gardens, we dined on the meal we had prepared, supplemented with Viva's specialty dessert--baklava cheesecake!
Finally, Viva and George gave us a sneak peek of the delicious items that were being made for a vegetarian catered event for 17 that evening.
We were amazed by Viva and George, and I'm conspiring for how I will make my way back to their home for more classes!
