Dear friends and Greek food lovers,

Greek Cookery Class runs another three-week course daytime, this time, on 23 Jan, 30 Jan and 6 Feb) with three full days of cooking and eating. Details are under Daytime Jan/Feb Greek Cookery Class Course below. Then we have a Greekfoodlovers' all vegan Supperclub on Friday 2 March, scroll down to that section if you're only interested in the dinner event. You can sign up for all/any of the events, just email back with your name to arrange for your booking on greekcookeryclass(AT)gmail.com Finally, there will be a semi-supperclub and semi food and wine tasting event in Feb, I just need to have the date confirmed.

Daytime Jan/Feb Greek Cookery Class Course:

In these 3 sessions on 3 Mondays in a row you'll learn how to cook three very popular dishes in Greek cuisine plus a lot of side dishes. Each session will last between 4-4,5 hours and be held between 12 noon - 4pm. We'll cook together and then have a meal together with the food we've made before each participant gets to take a portion home. The course will run on these Mondays: 23 Jan, 30 Jan and 6 February 2012. Each class will feature a main dish: Giouvetsi or kritharaki as it's also called (the rice shaped pasta cooked in tomato sauce with meat), Dolmades the stuffed vine leaves and finally at the last session you'll learn how to make Spanakopitta. The classes are hands-on and you'll get to learn the skills for cooking these classic Greek dishes that so many of you love and what ingredients to use to make each dish a success! Apart from the mains we'll also be doing a few different Greek sides/meze and salads in every class to pair with every main to create a meal and there will be other goodies to try out during the class as well, and dessert if you behave :)

The cost for the full course is £195 per person for all three sessions. All ingredients, 4hr tuition, tastings and meal are included plus a doggy bag to bring some food home after every class. To book contact me via email to arrange payment for your space/s. The 3 week course can be given as a present as well.

If you wish to attend one or two out of the three sessions the price will be £80/class, remember each class lasts for about 4 to 4,5 hours (eating included).

Greekfoodlovers' all vegan Supperclub Fri 2 March 2012 menu, 7pm :

The Supperclub is where I'll be cooking all the food and you'll be sitting down eating a feast of Greek vegan mezedes and Gigantes among other Greek delicacies. This is for meat eaters as well, don't be worried by the "vegan" label. A lot of Greek dishes are traditionally vegetarian and vegan as Greek Cuisine uses vegetables and pulses in cooking. We'll start at 7pm and finish the dinner at about 9:45pm when you can continue your Friday night around Shoreditch's many bars and clubs, if you please. So if you want to spend an evening with authentic Greek food and good company, this is the place where you can eat and socialize around the same table! The cost for the supperclub is £45 per person and you get all of the following on your plates:

Meze for Starters:

Fava

Dolmades

Aubergine dip

Pereski (pontic Greek dish, potato and onion filling baked in fyllo pastry)

Home-baked bread

Kalamata Olives

Main:

Gigantes - butter beans

served with Crispy fried courgette and a salad

Desserts:

Baklava and more sweet Greek surprises

Portions are Greek and generous, all dishes are home made. BYOB! Only extra virgin olive oil is used, no margarines or other substitute fats!! Limited spaces so if you want to book for your party or just yourself, get in touch soon to arrange for your payment. Let me know of any food allergy upon booking, but at least 5 days in advance in order to arrange for an alternative. The menu is mostly gluten free as well, only the bread and the pereski contain gluten and the baklava, but alternative options can be catered for if necessary. Also the vegan menu is open to meat eaters and vegetarians, it's just a meal without animal products!!

The course and the supperclub are held close to Liverpool Street/Old Street stations. Location details only to paying customers and closer to the date of each event.

Pre-payment only.

The course and the supperclub are informal, good fun and you get to meet people who share the love of food and cooking/eating together. To sign up, email me back with your name and anyone else you'd like to sign up on the email below. But it's absolutely fine to just book yourself in, as many people do join the events on their own!

Press and testimonials:

Your chef Elisavet, devoted to Greek food, has received much acclaim for her traditional home-cooking style. Elisavet's food has been served at Riverside Studios in London for a Greek festival and she has been featured in Red Magazine (June 2010), Foodepedia and ITV’s Britain’s Best Dish where Michelin starred chef John Burton Race said her lagana bread is "absolutely first class" and the prawn dish she cooked live on ITV was "cooked to perfection!" Also Eating East has given her food and supper club 4**** stars out of 5 in their review: http://www.eatingeast.co.uk/2010/ 09/22/greek-foodlovers-supper-club-2/

Elle Decoration magazine (September 2011) recommends Greek Cookery Classes as the authentic Greek cuisine experience and Business Traveller US magazine lists both her Greek Supper Club and Greek Cookery Class among London's top alternative dining places. Elisavet is also the first cook to teach Greek Cooking lessons at Divertimenti Cookery and Leith's Cookery Schools in London and recently her piece on Greek food in Greece was published in The Guardian.

Private events can be arranged as well, for your work, family and/or friends. Get in touch for separate dates and prices for bringing the Greek Supperclub or cooking class experience to your home or bringing your party to us, or hiring the chef for your private dinner party. Catering is another service offered for your special occasions or office meetings and gatherings.
