In-Person Fillo Classes

Learn how to make fillo pastry 2 ways… and change your life forever!!!

In these small, hands-on classes in my home in Kew, Victoria, you learn how to roll-your-own-fillo with a plastri (the Dry Method) and how to hand-stretch your own fillo (the Wet Method). Classes run as a Wet & Dry Method masterclass, or as a Wet Method or Dry Method class on its own.

In the Wet & Dry Method masterclass you make delicious Prasopita (leek pie) using the Dry/Plastri Method and Tiropita (cheese pie) using the Wet/Hand-Stretching Method. You then go home with 3 Prasopita logs and 2 Tiropita logs (ready to bake in a 42cm x 30cm aluminium rectangular pan), e-copies of the Prasopita and Tiropita recipes, your very own Greek rolling pin, and a heart filled with the joy of learning new skills!

You will enjoy some prasopita during the class and some tiropita at the conclusion of the class.

• There are only 4 participants in each class, so that you get lots of one-on-one coaching while you learn to make your own fillo
• Participants must be 14 years of age or older
• The class runs for 4 hours, from 10:00am to 2:00pm
• Please bring along an apron, lots of patience and a persevering spirit!
• The cost of the Wet & Dry Method masterclass is $275
• Once you purchase your spot there are no refunds. You can transfer to a future class with a full week’s notice (by the end of the day on the previous Saturday), or offer your spot to a friend at any time
• One week before the class I send out a reminder email along with my address
• If you like, you can purchase and wear a Kali Orexi apron on the day – see the Shop

ALSO… Once you take one of my fillo classes, you can attend my free monthly Sunday Morning Fillo Club online sessions, on the first Sunday of each month from February to November.

In-person classes are arranged by request rather than bought online. Send Christine a message with the form below – say whether you are interested in the Wet & Dry masterclass or a single-method class, how many people, and the Saturdays that suit you – and she will come back to you with the next available date.

Can’t wait? The On-Demand Fillo Masterclasses below let you learn at your own pace, with lifetime access.

Christine was amazing! It’s a fantastic class where you learn the art of pita making via a couple of methods. I’ve done both the wet and dry courses and each was unique. Small classes and a great place to learn with a truly amazing host, you receive great tuition and ongoing support. – Anastasia

Christine’s spanakopita class was amazing! I have been making spanakopita for many years but felt like my filo wasn’t up to par. Christine’s step by step instruction and patience made it so easy to advance my skills to the next level. I thoroughly recommend this class for beginners or seasoned pita makers. Your taste buds will sing and your family members will benefit for many years from your pita making skills! – Kathy K

Fantastic experience overall. Christine is a great teacher, patient and informative from a technical perspective too. Highly recommend! – Susanna Hondrokostas

This was so much more than just a cooking class. It was an inspirational journey of story-telling, learning about the origins of ingredients, nurturing a connection to my Greek heritage and topped off with the zen-like calm of rolling my first ever piece of fillo pastry. Thank you Christine! – Georgia Lak

An incredible experience that was enlightening and fun! Christine is knowledgeable and shares her experience and love for the Greek culture. Thank you again for your patience with my rolling technique. Dry Method is now my favourite and will be a repeat in our house. – Georgette Pontikis

What a delightful experience. Honestly exceeded my expectations, Christine was such a lovely teacher so patient and sweet. I couldn’t recommend this Filo class enough. One of the best ways to spend a part of your Saturday, heck I’m thinking of doing it again! Thank you Kali Orexi – thank you Chris. – Absolutely Floorless

I had the best day learning from the best in my opinion. Christine is a wonderful patient teacher and allowed us to produce the tastiest filo. Thoroughly recommend spending a day with Christine to show me her skills and techniques. Will definitely be booking in another day soon!! – Maree D'Alessandro
