The scenery is absolutely stunning--Santorini, Greece is picturesque and the island is full of history, character, and delicious cuisine. Cynthia Daddona, the host of the program, has a charismatic personality on-camera and draws you in with her enthusiasm about Santorini and a selection of its signature dishes. The cooking class featured in the program has a do-it-yourself appeal and you feel as welcome in the kitchen as a family member would be. The dishes featured on the DVD all look mouth-watering and appear to be easy to prepare--which is always a plus. This DVD has a mixture of history, culture, delicious cuisine, and a touch of romance--and the combination works! I highly recommend it. -- E. Melia

"My #1 choice for a fabulous gift is "A Greek Islands Destination Cooking Class" (DVD). It is one of the most beautiful (and educational) productions I've seen. Cynthia Daddona hosts this cooking-lesson-tour-romantic-interlude from the Greek island of Santorini. This 71-minute DVD is as much a travelogue as it is a cooking video. The videography is beautiful, Cynthia is an engaging host, and the recipes are oh-so tempting. A section of the production is devoted to exploring ingredients, and it's fascinating! If you can't take a trip to the Greek islands this year, this is the next best thing!"

"What a little treasure this DVD is! I was looking forward to viewing this DVD, as I am of Greek descent and have visited the beautiful island of Santorini many times. I also enjoy regional Greek Cuisine and found the
recipes and techniques in this DVD very intriguing and I think easily adaptable for the home chef. The bonus section at the end showcases various cheeses and herbs of Santorini, and is definitely a visual treat for the most die-hard foodie!
Interspersed among the cookery class and food tips are scenes of the natural beauty of the island, and glimpses of a tradional Greek Island wedding. I really liked the personal story and felt like I was experiencing the culture of Santorini. Additionally, the scenery is so gorgeous!!!"

I Wish I Were There! - Lori A. Cooper - Santa Barbara, CA
Watching " A Greek Islands Destination Cooking Class" DVD made me feel like I was on a personal tour with an energetic, warm guide and TV host, Cynthia Daddona. Not only did I get an overview of the main sites of Greece and the beauty of Santorini, I got to participate in a private cooking class. Cynthia's love for the Mediterranean along with her joy, feel and knowledge for Greece is delightful.

Dis-appointed 2 - westcoast_veggie - San Diego, CA United States
Pros: Excellent photography of the island and portrayal of the
foods and spices of Greece.
Cons: Annoying icon super-imposed in the lower right hand corner
throughout the whole video. The quality of this video as compared
to some other less expensive travel videos doesn't rate having
that sort of advertisement. Even on tv shows, the network icon
comes in and out while the program is aired.
It would have also been nice too see the ingredients
on the screen in some fashion, as the recipes
were being made. It would have served better to put the
brief footage of the wedding at the end or as a special
segement. No offense this is supposed to be a cooking
class video / DVD, right?
Fix those and you'd have a top notch video!
