点评:If you're looking for a typical cooking class, this isn't it—it's so much more.
I spent a week with Stella in Paros as part of her Cooking, Wine & Village Life experience, and it was one of the highlights of my trip to Greece. From the moment I arrived, she made me feel genuinely welcome, cared for, and at home.
What made this experience so special was how immersive and personal it felt. We didn't just cook—we explored villages across the island, learned about local history and traditions, foraged for wild herbs, visited producers, shared countless meals, and talked about food for hours. As someone who loves cooking and discovering culture through food, it was exactly the kind of experience I had hoped for.
The cooking classes themselves were fantastic. I especially appreciated how hands-on they were. We weren't simply watching demonstrations; we were actively cooking, learning techniques, and preparing a wide variety of traditional Greek dishes. One thing I particularly loved was that Stella took the time to ask what I was interested in learning and incorporated those interests into the week. It felt customized rather than scripted.
Beyond the food, what really stood out was Stella herself. Her passion for Paros, Greek cuisine, and hospitality shines through in everything she does. Whether she was explaining the history of a village, sharing stories behind a recipe, or introducing local ingredients, she added so much depth to the experience.
I left with wonderful memories, new recipes, a deeper appreciation for Greek food and culture, and the feeling that I had made a new friend in Paros.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone who loves food, cooking, cultural immersion, and meaningful connections while traveling. I sincerely hope to return one day.
翻译:如果你在寻找普通的烹饪课,那这可不是——它远不止于此。
我参加了斯特拉在帕罗斯岛举办的“烹饪、美酒与乡村生活”体验活动,在那里待了一周,这绝对是我希腊之旅的一大亮点。从我抵达的那一刻起,她就让我感到宾至如归,倍感温暖。
这次体验之所以如此特别,是因为它如此沉浸式和个性化。我们不仅学习烹饪,还探索了岛上的各个村庄,了解了当地的历史和传统,采摘野生草药,拜访了农户,享用了无数美食,并就美食话题畅谈数小时。作为一个热爱烹饪并通过美食探索文化的人,这正是我梦寐以求的体验。
烹饪课本身也精彩绝伦。我尤其欣赏它的实践性。我们不仅仅是观看演示,而是积极参与烹饪,学习烹饪技巧,并亲手制作各种各样的传统希腊菜肴。我特别喜欢的一点是,斯特拉会花时间询问我对学习的兴趣,并将这些兴趣融入到一周的行程中。这感觉像是量身定制的,而不是按部就班的。
除了美食之外,真正让我印象深刻的是斯特拉本人。她对帕罗斯岛、希腊美食和热情好客的热爱在她所做的每一件事中都闪耀着光芒。无论是讲解村庄的历史、分享食谱背后的故事,还是介绍当地食材,她都为这段体验增添了许多深度。
我带着美好的回忆、新的食谱、对希腊美食和文化更深的理解以及在帕罗斯岛结识新朋友的喜悦离开了。
我由衷地向所有热爱美食、烹饪、文化体验以及在旅行中建立有意义的人际关系的人推荐这次体验。我真诚地希望有一天能够重返帕罗斯岛。
