Greek winter stews & soups cooking workshop

Winter calls for nourishing soups, hearty dishes with pulses, and comforting stews with citrus. Of course, a dessert with seasonal fruit and warming spices to finish off your meal!

Learn how to use unusual ingredients like trahanas, master the art of slow-cooking, learn about the use of olive oil in the Greek kitchen, and how to swiftly turn dry beans into a wonderful dinner.

Hearty traditional Greek recipes that will brighten up our winter!

Suggested Menu

Trahanas soup

Leek and celery stew (prasoselino)

The workshop includes learning basic cooking skills, tasting ingredients and participating in every step, from prepping ingredients to cooking and plating. You will leave with a selection of the recipes and a 10% discount voucher for Oliveology’s products. And at the end of the workshop we all sit around the table and share the food we’ve made!
