Description

At ΜΑΝΑ, cooking is passed down the way it always has been in Kefalonia — hands-on, generous, and full of flavor. Perched above the iconic Myrtos Beach and set directly on the road connecting Assos and Fiskardo, ΜΑΝΑ sits at the most central point of the island, making this class an easy and rewarding stop for families exploring the north. This one-hour class invites children to choose one traditional recipe and discover the island’s culinary heritage hands-on, guided by a local host. Young chefs can choose their recipe from the sweet or savory side of Greek tradition: shaping and baking their own koulourakia, the beloved Greek butter cookies found in every home on holidays and everyday alike; preparing classic Greek dips; or cooking an authentic Kefalonian dish such as riganada — crusty bread topped with tomato, oregano, and olive oil — or strapatsada, the island’s rustic tomato and egg dish. Once the cooking is done, guests are welcomed into a cozy, relaxed space to sit down and savor the dish they have created — a well-earned taste of Kefalonia’s traditional table. As a lasting keepsake, each guest also takes home the recipe they prepared, ready to bring a little piece of Kefalonian tradition into their own kitchen, wherever in the world that may be.
