Part I: Guided Market Tour: Greek International Market (Oct 7 @ 5PM)

Discover the simple joy—and lasting wellness—of Greek home cooking in this immersive two-part workshop inspired by the Mediterranean lifestyle.

Note: Attendance to both classes is recommended, but not required. Each class sold separately.

Part I: Guided Market Tour — Greek Market Field Trip: Discovering the Ingredients of a Long Life. Join us for a guided visit to the Greek International Food Market in West Roxbury. Together, we’ll explore the building blocks of a nourishing Greek pantry—heart-healthy olive oils, tangy feta, homemade prepared foods, seasonal produce, legumes, grains, and more. You’ll learn how these everyday staples contribute to one of the world’s healthiest cuisines.

With time set aside for shopping, you’ll fill your basket with authentic products and a deeper understanding of how simple, traditional foods can support long, joyful living.

Guests may choose to meet at Joyful Kitchen to carpool 40 minutes before class, or drive separately to the shopping location.

Cooking Classes: Remember to come hungry, because you will leave with a full belly. Please don’t think that you have to be a great cook to take any of these classes. All you really need is to enjoy spending time in the kitchen, or desire to increase your enjoyment in the kitchen. Joining one of our cooking classes will be a fun and engaging experience and change your relationship toward food for the better. During class, each participant will receive recipe printouts, shopping and preparation checklists, and plenty to eat. Classes are by reservation only. Only 12 reservations per class. Please let us know about any special dietary needs.

Cancellation Policy: Because seating is limited and food is purchased in advance, we cannot guarantee full refunds for cancellations made less than a week prior to the event. In the event you must cancel late, we will attempt to fill your seat with someone from our waiting list. Please email cancellation notices.

What Should I Bring? Please dress comfortably and come with a smile and eagerness to learn. Small group classes are taught by both demonstration and hands-on participation, so you can choose to participate as much or as little as you feel comfortable. We will provide all the tools you need to participate, including aprons, cutting boards, knives, etc.

The School: Surrounded by stainless steel, thick white marble, commercial grade appliances, and artful accents, you will learn to cook in a rather stylish way at Joyful Kitchen in Wellesley. Joyful Kitchen has a state-of-the-art kitchen-featuring top of the line cookware and appliances from Sub-Zero & Wolf.
