  Learn to make a super fun half day of Greek food

  The cooking class was incredibly enjoyable and informative. Alex and his mother provided simple instructions to create delicious dishes, and each participant had a role to play. He shared much about the island and their business's location. You could ask him anything. It felt genuine, and his enthusiasm for his work was evident. We had a great time.

  A quick trip through history from Ancient Greece to modern Greece with food stops, tasting, coffee and wine. Say no more

  Alex, along with his British mother Mandy, offers a captivating journey through history from Ancient Greece to modern times, complete with food tastings, coffee, and wine. Having grown up in Zante and worked in the family restaurant, he shares insights into traditional Greek menus and educates guests about wines, olives, and cooking techniques. With a blend of humor and enthusiasm, this is an excellent way to spend a morning. I look forward to returning.

  This cooking class was truly amazing and I strongly recommend it to all. The hosts were friendly and welcoming, and the dishes we prepared were fantastic. We also gained valuable insights into the island’s history, as well as local olive oil and cheeses. It's essential for any food lover.

  Excellent class and would happily recommend

  We organized this experience as a family since we all appreciate good food and wine. Upon arrival, Alex and his family warmly welcomed us; their friendly atmosphere and fluent English made communication easy. We learned about the evolution of Zante's culture and the effects of tourism and development on the island. This aspect was particularly engaging for my history-loving dad, as Alex skillfully merges culinary arts with historical insights, making it appealing for both cooking fans and history buffs. The variety of dishes we prepared was impressive, and Alex encouraged participation from everyone, regardless of their cooking skills. The feta saganaki was a highlight, and the moussaka made for a delicious lunch, accompanied by drinks. We highly recommend this experience and extend our gratitude to the Green Frog team for such a unique cultural adventure that I hadn't encountered before on a Greek island. Alex's attention to detail did not go unnoticed by attendees of all nationalities, as he is a remarkable host. A helpful tip: this class tends to fill up quickly, so it's wise to book well in advance.

  Lovely Cooking Class

  We had a wonderful experience with Alex and his team. The hours spent enjoying delicious food and drinks, along with fascinating historical insights, were delightful. Everything was well organized and clearly explained. Alex and his mother are charming individuals, and it was a pleasure to listen to them throughout the day. In this cooking class, while not everyone has to prepare every dish, you collaborate and share responsibilities within the group, which we appreciated as it allowed us to catch every important detail and engage with others.

  I highly recommend this fantastic morning experience in Zakynthos. The people were wonderful, the history fascinating, and the food delightful—my only complaint is that the time passed too quickly because I was having so much fun.
