Pie making

Pie making is inseparably connected with Greek culinary tradition.

Ancient Greek plakous made with wheat, milk, fresh cheese, and honey.

Sarantopitta is made with 40 leaves of dough  (saranta= 40)

This class centers around both savory and sweet pies- from ancient ones such as plakous to pies from the 19th and early 20th century- and regional delicacies such as  zucchini pie, small wild green pies, bread meat, boureki, sesame pie, and more (Pies vary depending on the season).
