Vegetarian Cooking Holiday course at KaliKalos in Greece
In Greece there is a whole philosophy around eating and sharing food, reflected in the ancient word "symposium" meaning a convivial gathering of friends and company centered around food and drink. Dionysus, the god of conviviality, wine and food, symbolized the importance of this deep rooted practice. For the Greeks, eating with friends at a tavern or at home is a social affair dating from antiquity.Archestratos wrote the first known cooking book in 330 B.C. Greek cuisine is known worldwide for its wide variety of tastes and delicious dishes, of which many of the outstanding are vegetarian. The secrets that have made Greek cuisine popular are the abundant fresh ingredients of high quality, a time-honored use of fresh and home dried herbs and spices and Greek virgin olive oil.

Guide / Holiday Course Tutor
Kathy Freeman (shown above with pizza) is head chef and coordinator for this week's course. Kathy's experience includes 8 years in the Omega Centre (upstate New York) kitchen. She has recently joined the Findhorn Community Park kitchen group. This weeks' group will be limited to six participants so that confident cooks can increase their repertoire of techniques and recipes whilst those with less experience can learn more basic techniques. We will cook some mainstays of Greek vegetarian cuisine but also some less usual dishes such as feta and roast garlic turnovers and sun dried tomato fritters, using tomatoes which we will bake for two days on the marble stairs in the Aegean sun. |
