First there was the traditional halloumi and then a farmers cheese was the second set of curds that came from the boiled milk. Afterwards we ate it fresh with traditional Cypriot delicacies kibbeh, olive bread, spinach boreks, cucumber and tomato. I always thought you fried halloumi but learned you eat it fresh.

The company that organizes this did a fantastic job reaching out to me to coordinate a few things. My tour guide, Paniko, I can’t say enough beautiful things about him.

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this cooking class in Cyprus. From the very beginning, everything was well organized and welcoming.
