We are Androniki and Pantelis, and we've called this beautiful corner of Crete our home for our entire lives. Our love for Cretan cuisine began in childhood, watching our grandmothers prepare feasts in their wood-fired ovens.
Years ago, we began inviting visitors into our home to share the cooking traditions that mean so much to us. What started as casual gatherings with friends became something more—a way to preserve our heritage and share it with the world.
Today, our courtyard has welcomed guests from every corner of the globe. Each class is a celebration of Cretan culture: the recipes, the ingredients, the stories, and most importantly, the warmth of gathering around a table with new friends.

What drives everything we do in our kitchen
Every recipe we share has been passed down through generations, keeping authentic Cretan flavors alive.
We use ingredients from our garden and local producers, supporting our community and the environment.
In Crete, guests are family. We open our home and hearts to share our culture and traditions.
No shortcuts, no compromises. We cook the way Cretans have cooked for centuries.

Our home in Loutra, Rethymno, is a traditional Cretan house with a spacious courtyard that becomes our open-air kitchen during classes. The centerpiece is our wood-fired oven, built using methods unchanged for generations.
Surrounding the courtyard is our garden, where we grow the herbs, vegetables, and fruits that find their way into our dishes. From fresh oregano to ripe tomatoes, everything is organic and picked at its peak.
When you visit, you're not coming to a restaurant or a commercial kitchen—you're coming to our home, to cook and dine as our family has for generations.
We can't wait to welcome you to our home and share our love for Cretan cooking
