Corfu Old Town Cooking Class

The Corfu Old Town Cooking Class is a private 4-hour class that combines a walk through Corfu Old Town, on the Greek island of Corfu in the Ionian Islands, with a visit to a local food market and a hands-on cooking session. The operator is listed as a KimKim local partner, meaning the class is arranged through the KimKim travel platform with a local host; the listing does not name the host or say how long they have been running classes. The class begins in the Old Town, a UNESCO-listed Venetian-era centre of narrow lanes, where the walk includes a market visit to see and choose local ingredients such as produce, cheeses, olive oil and herbs. Participants then cook Corfiot dishes, with sofrito and bourdeto named in the listing. Sofrito is a veal dish simmered in white wine, garlic and vinegar, while bourdeto is a peppery fish stew, and both are regarded as signature dishes of Corfu cuisine, shaped by its Venetian past. The listing does not give the exact number of dishes or mention dessert, so the balance of savoury and sweet courses should be confirmed with the host. As the class is private, the group is tailored to the booking party, and the language of instruction should be confirmed at booking. The meal prepared is generally eaten at the end, though the listing does not explicitly say so. The listing provides no price, so visitors should check the current rate on the booking platform. Included items are the Old Town walk, market visit and cooking instruction; transport is not needed in the Old Town, and drinks and gratuities are not specified. Because the class is private, dietary substitutions, including vegetarian alternatives to fish or meat dishes, can usually be requested in advance, though this is not confirmed in the listing. The class operates year-round, and the walk portion is best done in comfortable shoes.
