Join us on a journey into Greek cuisine, a relaxed morning, dedicated to experiencing Greek food and culture.
We’ll start the day in the truly Greek way, by making ‘frappe’ (iced coffee) or Greek coffee, with everyone making their own, to get into the spirit of things. Once the introductions are over we begin by making Stiffado- a classic Greek dish and perfect Dinner party hero. This is followed by various side dishes, spinach and feta pie and a masterclass demonstration on how to make filo pastry- naturally you get to have a go too. All this is interspersed with stories about the Island, about the culture and how the Mediterranean diet has come to be what it is today. There will be plenty of hands on opportunities during the morning, different products to taste – you definitely won’t leave feeling hungry, and then there’s the wine tasting…
Finally we retreat to our beautiful, shady garden area to enjoy all the delicious food we’ve created with a well deserved ice cold drink – a perfect end to fun filled morning.
