A Greek cooking workshop in the kitchen of our restaurant, in the Bastide. Télémaque, the founder of KALIMERA, shows you how, you cook everything from scratch, and then we all sit down and eat it. Never cooked Greek before, or never cooked at all? Come hungry. That’s all we ask.
2 hours · €55 per person · 2 to 10 people

From scratch.
Classics of Greek cooking, every one made by you. Souvlaki and homemade tzatziki come round often. The exact menu depends on the session and can change, so we don’t announce it in advance.
Before the knives come out, Télémaque tells you where the dishes come from and what each ingredient is there to do. Then it’s hands in, with his tips for prepping, keeping and plating each dish. The aim is that you can make it all again at home, without us.
We cook with the olives and the olive oil from Télémaque’s family grove in the Peloponnese. The same ones we use in the restaurant.
The €55 covers the two hours with Télémaque, the ingredients, the equipment and the meal: we sit down together to eat what we have just cooked, with a bottle of Greek wine for the table. You don’t need to bring anything.
Alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health. Please drink in moderation.
Booking and payment go through WeCanDoo. The kitchen is not accessible for people with reduced mobility.
Your host · Télémaque
Télémaque runs every workshop himself. He started KALIMERA from a food truck in London in 2015, and he still cooks every day.
KALIMERA is a modern Athenian eatery: Greek family cooking, the way Athens eats it today. You learn it where we serve it, in the restaurant kitchen that feeds the Bastide from Tuesday to Saturday.
For Christmas, a birthday or no reason at all: you give the workshop without fixing a date. The gift card arrives by email and they choose their session afterwards, within twelve months. They go home knowing how. You get invited to dinner, if they were brought up properly.
The workshop can be booked from two people: a couple, friends, family from age 15. A session takes up to ten. More of you than that? Hen or stag do, birthday, team day out in Bordeaux: write to us and we’ll set up a workshop to fit. We have done it for big companies before.
We have cooked with you in Paris before: Sundays in the kitchen at Ground Control, with Télémaque at the stove. New dates for Greek cooking classes in Paris are on their way. Leave us your email and we’ll write as soon as they open. Until then, the restaurant at Ground Control is open from Wednesday to Sunday.
