What to eat and drink in Mykonos

Classes here usually build the menu around local dishes. Ones to look for:

Souvlaki
Grilled meat skewers, served on the stick or in pitta with tzatziki.
Gyros
Meat roasted on a vertical spit, wrapped in pitta with tomato, onion, tzatziki and chips.

How to pick a good cooking class

  1. Check whether you cook every dish yourself or watch a demonstration. Hands-on classes usually cap groups at 10 to 12.
  2. Morning classes often start with a market walk to buy ingredients; afternoon ones go straight to the kitchen.
  3. Tell the host about allergies or a vegetarian diet when you book, not on the day.
  4. Look for a class that sends the recipes home with you, so you can cook them again.
