Frequently asked questions
I have specific food preferences (vegetarian/vegan) or allergies, can I still take the class?
Yes, if you are vegetarian or have food allergies or gluten-free requirements, we can adjust the menu accordingly, if you inform us 24 hours prior to the class’ starting time. If you have a vegan diet you will not be able to participate in some recipes of the menu.
I am a vegetarian, what else should I know about the class?
During the market tour we will pass by the meat & fish sectors. There are no alive animals of course -the look & feel is like being in a butcher shop or a fish market- but we totally respect if you would like to avoid the specific views. In this case you can skip the specific sectors of the tour.
Are the classes suitable for beginners?
No matter if you are a beginner or an experienced cook, the class is designed to offer the same unique experience to all participants!
What should I wear to the class? Do I need to bring any equipment?
Come as you are! All the equipment you need will be provided by us. Wearing comfortable clothes and shoes is always recommended, since we will be occasionally standing in some points during the market tour. If you are taking the class during the summer months, hat and sunscreen will be a good idea, the sun in Athens may be quite strong some days.
Can I cancel my booking?
Yes, if you inform us by email 48 hours ahead you can cancel or change the time of the booking and get a full refund. Each course requires a lot of preparation from our side, in terms of ingredients’ purchases, studio preparation and staff scheduling. So, no refunds will be given for not showing up or for canceling or change the time of the booking later than 48 hours before the class starting time.
How much food do I get to eat in each class?
Rest assured that you will enjoy a rich lucnh/dinner. The amount of food we cook is always more than enough for a group of hungry people! An important element of The greek cooking lab experience is to sit comfortably around the table and savor the food you have crafted!
How old should I be in order to participate?
Teenagers are welcome. Children may also participate, if supervised by their parents/guardians.
