Mediterranean Diet Cookery Workshops  

Greek Tsanziki

Here’s what you can expect from the Yummy Cyprus cookery demonstrations.

Each four-hour workshop includes:

  • Cookery demonstration. Learn about traditional Greek and Cypriot cooking. You’ll be shown how to make some of our most popular recipes, and you’ll learn about the traditions behind the foods. You will learn one main meal and several starters per workshop.

  • Mediterranean diet discussion. Alongside the cookery demonstration, you’ll hear about the ingredients in the foods prepared, the traditions behind them and the benefits of the Mediterranean Diet.

  • Shared meal. For small groups, we’ll all share the meal we have just prepared and enjoy a glass of wine and more discussion!

More information on our Mediterranean Diet cookery workshops can be found on the About Us page.
