CRETE
Greek cuisine is a treasure house of tastes and Crete is filled with a treasure chest of beauty, at no time more so than in the spring.
With Cook Greek! you will have the opportunity to enjoy both.
Combining informal cooking classes with cultural touring gives this small group tour (10 - 15 people) a special feeling not found with larger groups.
The tour is based at the 4-star Spinalonga Village hotel on the beautiful Elounda coast of Crete. The management has graciously extended us exclusive use of their hotel kitchen and dining facilities.
You’ll share in the preparation of the dishes on each day’s menu, under the able tutelage of tour leader, Evelyn Mourelatou.
Instruction covers favourite Greek and local recipes, paying particular attention to meze (starters), fish and vegetable dishes. There will be five cooking demonstrations, four of which will include complete menus, with one session on sweets and baked goods. You will be invited to assist at all levels throughout.
A collection of the recipes presented is yours to keep, and the booklet includes ample space to note the expert's hints you’ll pick up along the way.
All equipment and supplies are provided. Cooking demonstrations will be conducted in English.
