Our Story
Cleanrecipes University was founded with a simple vision: to make balanced nutrition accessible to everyone through engaging, interactive cooking instruction. We recognised that many people want to improve their eating habits but lack the confidence and hands-on guidance needed to cook healthy meals consistently.
Located in the heart of Larissa, Greece, we've been dedicated to creating an inclusive learning community where students of all skill levels can discover the joy of preparing nutritious, flavourful dishes. Our approach combines traditional Mediterranean wisdom with modern nutritional science, reflecting the rich culinary heritage of Greece whilst embracing contemporary health knowledge.
Every live class we conduct is designed to inspire confidence in the kitchen, break down the barriers between complicated recipes and everyday cooking, and help participants build sustainable habits around food preparation that last a lifetime.

5/5"Sophia's live cooking classes transformed how I approach food in my kitchen. I now feel confident preparing balanced meals from scratch, and my family has noticed the positive difference. The instructions are clear, the recipes are genuinely delicious, and the whole experience feels like learning from a trusted friend rather than following a textbook."

The nutrition information is reliable, and I appreciate that Dimitri explains the 'why' behind food choices. I'm now cooking at home regularly and feeling much better about what I'm eating."
