While spending a week on Ft Myers Beach. I ventured out and found the beaches on Sanibel Island to be beautiful and full of shells, I learned a lot from a pickle ball clinic I attended, I totally enjoyed the beauty and serenity of Naples Botanical Garden, and I did a lot of shopping at outlets. I also took a Traditional Greek Cooking Class which turned out to be, without a doubt, the highlight of my trip. I really enjoyed my time with Chef George and his wife, Julia. They were gracious hosts and I felt welcome in their beautiful home. The kitchen is a chef’s dream. I found George and Julia to be knowledgeable and very serious about eating healthy traditional meals. My kitchen (knife) skills are not the best, but Chef George was very patient and kept a watchful eye as I chopped green onions and Romaine lettuce and spinach. And he showed me how to work with phyllo dough as we prepared a delicious meal of Spanakopita (spinach pie), Marouli Salata (green salad with very simple ingredients), and a main (red sauce) pasta dish called KOKINISTO. We also enjoyed a serving of yogurt with nuts, honey and cinnamon. While all of this preparation and eating was happening, the wine flowed freely, the Greek music played in the background, and great conversation took place. I actually left there feeling comfortable in (attempting) to try to prepare this meal when I get home. Chef George assured me that I could call him if I got stuck or had any questions. I will definitely use Traveling Spoon to book more classes when l am in the area. Truly an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!!!

January 4th, 2022 My Amazing Traditional Greek Cooking Class in Naples Florida I decided to do something different on my vacation to Naples, Florida this year. One of the choices I made was to take a cooking class. It was a traditional Greek cooking class. I made my reservation and drove to the location. The class was at the chef’s home. Chef George and his wife Julia greeted me at the door. I was instantly comfortable in their lovely home. Chef George proceeded to tell me the menu of the evening and we quickly started to prepare the following mouth-watering dishes. Saganaki {fried cheese}, spinach pie, orzo mixed with lamb meat, grilled lamb chops, dandelions, Greek salad with feta cheese, grilled bread with oregano, red wine, Greek yogurt with honey, walnut and cinnamon, and of course Greek coffee. The food was amazing!! While cooking, we had great conversation. I found out that Chef George is also a commercial pilot and Julia is a real estate agent for Coastal International Properties in Naples, Florida. Two of their friends stopped over to join us for this delicious meal. Steve and Elaine were a delight. Steve is also a pilot and Elaine is a real estate agent. I cannot thank George and Julia enough for allowing me to enjoy this wonderful experience with them. I love cooking and I love good food. I enjoyed both this evening. I highly recommend taking a cooking class with Chef George. I will definitely return for more classes in the future. While I booked my class through Viator, you can also book through the Traveling Spoon or email the Chef at: [email protected] Beverly Schilero
