Gather around the table for a Greek family-style cooking experience featuring Aunt Athena’s Greek spaghetti, salad, baklava, & Italian sodas
About this Event

Join me in the kitchen for a Greek Family Table Experience inspired by cherished recipes, family traditions, and the joy of gathering around a shared meal.


At the heart of this evening is Aunt Athena’s Greek spaghetti, a dish that holds deep meaning for me. It was one of the first meals my father-in-law ever made for me and the moment I realized how special homemade sauce can be. This recipe has been shared at family gatherings for years and is simple, comforting, and full of flavor.

During class, we will prepare this Greek spaghetti together while talking through how it is made, how it is served, and why it has remained a staple at the family table. My father-in-law will be joining us to share stories, tips, and the history behind this beloved family recipe.


We will enjoy the meal alongside a traditional Greek salad, served the way it often appears at Greek family tables. Fresh, simple, and meant to balance the richness of the spaghetti.


To finish the evening, I will share baklava along with the story of teaching myself how to make it for my first Greek Easter with my future in-laws. It is a sweet ending rooted in tradition, learning, and connection.

Creamy Italian sodas will be served with dinner as a fun and easy way to round out the meal and share an idea guests can recreate at home when entertaining.


This experience is about more than cooking. It is about gathering, sharing stories, and enjoying food the way it was meant to be enjoyed, around the table together. Whether you come on your own or with friends, you will be welcomed into a warm kitchen setting that feels meaningful and inviting.
