Greek Island Cooking
The cuisine of the greek islands is renowned for simple, locally
produced food, with lots of freshly gathered herbs. Greek food is
perfect for parties as it's simple to make, can be prepared in
advance and is often as good hot or cold.
We start with a laden table of Greek traditional ingredients. Feta
and halloumi cheeses, filo pastry, vine leaves, chickpeas, almonds
and hazelnuts, sesame seeds, pinenuts, grassy olive oil,
aubergines, tomatoes, peppers, lemons and bunches of sweet smelling
herbs, oregano, mint and parsley.
We will make dishes such as chunky hummus to go with freshly baked pitta, dolmades filled with herby garlic rice, saffron and cheese tiropetes, Greek country beans, stuffed aubergines with yoghurt and almond sauce, courgette filo pie, Greek salads as well as apricot and hazelnut baklava dripping in honey. We will finish with a mezze style lunch with organic Greek wine.
