I love Kelly's classes - online and in person. Each method has it's benefits. You'll learn so much and also sense the tradition within each recipe. I will be a student for life of this gracious lady!

Kelly has been a magnificent teacher, teaching me some traditional Greek recipes i grew up with. Not only is she informative, she is very patient, very knowledgeable and most of all, her passion and love for food oozes when she teaches you online or in her home. Highly recommend anyone looking for traditional Greek cooking classes not only to learn, however to have some fun and most of all to meet others who also enjoy the flavours of Greece. I have done 10 classes and learnt so much, my favourite is Portokalopita, Cretan Bougatsa, Tiropita and the Greek Koulouri you find in the streets of Athens

Absolutely 10/10 experience. Kelly is lovely to speak with, a fantastic teacher and an amazing host. We made an amazing portokalopita with the guidance of Kelly. She was wonderful, answered all our questions and was fantastic with giving direction and ensuring everyone was involved. Thank you once again!

A great experience. Well organised. Great communication and differentiation during the session. Kelly was friendly and was able to involve all the participants even on the Zoom platform. Felt like we were all in the same location. I would highly recommend taking a class!

A great, intimate experience with a lovely teacher. The food was delicious too! I would highly recommend. We bought it as a gift for our Dad and he really loved it too. Kelly is full of knowledge and teaches in a way that doesn't make you feel silly (even if you have no skills at all, like me haha).

I loved being part of Kelly’s Galaktoboureko cooking class. It was very informative, inspirational and a perfect way to spend a few hours having fun and learning a delicious traditional recipe. I definitely was inspired to recreate it at home and yes I did! I highly recommend Kelly’s classes.

I loved Kelly's online Christmas biscuit making, gemista and baklava classes! Lots of online cooking classes have ceased since lockdown in Melbourne has relaxed so I was so lucky to come across this class. Kelly is really attentive, patient and friendly. I've been able to make lots of delicious gifts and now have new culinary skills to add to my (small) collection. Thanks for running great classes, Kelly!
