Corfu Cooking Class: A Gastronomical Adventure in Paradise

When you think of Corfu, images of sun-drenched coastlines, Venetian alleys, and vibrant local life may come to mind. Yet, the true soul of Corfu is perhaps best experienced through its cuisine — and there’s no better way to dive into it than with a Corfu cooking class designed for discerning travelers.

At The Corfu Experience, we believe that food is more than just a meal — it’s a journey into the heart of local tradition. Our curated Corfu cooking classes invite you to step beyond the role of visitor and become part of a living culinary heritage.

A Private Culinary Journey

Far from crowded demonstrations and tourist-heavy venues, our Corfu cooking class offers an intimate, hands-on experience. Hosted in a traditional Corfiot home or a charming countryside estate, you’ll learn age-old recipes passed down through generations.

Under the guidance of a local chef passionate about preserving Corfu’s authentic flavors, you’ll discover the secrets of dishes like pastitsada (spiced beef stew), sofrito (slow-cooked veal in white wine), and fresh handmade phyllo pies — using ingredients sourced directly from local markets and gardens.

Beyond the Recipe

Our classes are more than just a cooking lesson. They’re a celebration of connection: to the land, the seasons, and the vibrant culture that has shaped Corfiot cuisine. Between preparing each course, you’ll hear stories of village life, culinary traditions, and how Venetian, French, and British influences have left their imprint on the island’s table.

And when the cooking is done, you’ll sit down to savor your creations — paired, of course, with excellent local wines.

Step into the Heart of Corfiot Cuisine
Nothing captures the spirit of Corfu quite like its food — and there’s no better way to experience it than through a private, hands-on cooking class. Here’s what one of our guests had to say about their unforgettable day with The Corfu Experience:

“Aprons on and hands washed, we were ready to dive into the world of Corfiot cuisine. Maria and the private chef assigned only to us led our small group through the preparation of a traditional three-course meal, sharing their family’s recipes and expert techniques along the way. We chopped, sautéed, and simmered our way through mouthwatering dishes like Sofrito, a slow-cooked beef dish with white wine and garlic, and Bourdeto, a spicy fish stew.

Maria was an excellent teacher, patiently guiding us through each step while regaling us with stories of Corfu’s culinary history. As we cooked, we laughed and bonded over our shared love of food, making the experience feel like an intimate gathering among friends.

A Feast to Remember

With the table set and wine poured, we gathered to enjoy the fruits of our labor. Each bite was a revelation, transporting us to the heart of Corfu’s culinary heritage. From the tangy and refreshing Tzatziki to the comforting and aromatic Pastitsada, we savored every morsel.

As the sun dipped below the horizon and the sky turned a brilliant shade of orange, we raised our glasses in a toast to our unforgettable day. The Corfu Experience had given us not only the skills to recreate these delectable dishes back home but also a newfound appreciation for the rich culinary traditions of this enchanting island.
