Tour Details
Greek Home Cooking with a Local
Chania, renowned for its hospitality, lively people, and bountiful produce, is the ideal backdrop to your gastronomic journey. Hosted in your guide’s cozy and inviting apartment, only a 5- to 10-minute trip from the town center, you will uncover the heritage and history of Greece through its food. Born in Australia, your guide is of Cretan lineage and draws immense joy from sharing her passion for her ancestral cuisine and talking about her travels.
Embark on a culinary discovery as you get hands-on experience in crafting two traditional dishes, using cherished family recipes. Learn about the Mediterranean diet's ten essential principles and collaborate on a unique Greek feast. Possible dishes to prepare include fava yellow split pea dip with dakos, aromatic pumpkin feta and herb fritters, or the hearty papoutsakia - eggplants generously stuffed with minced sauce and crowned with bechamel.
After the cooking concludes, it's time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Pull up a chair at the dining table and relish the dishes you created, concluding with a delectable dessert, like Greek yogurt drizzled with thyme-infused Cretan honey, walnuts, and pomegranate, alongside a refreshing cup of Greek coffee or tea.
This tour, taking place in the picturesque port of Souda, Crete, is an excellent opportunity for both novice and seasoned chefs to learn, cook, and enjoy authentic Greek cuisine amidst the warmth of local hospitality. Your taste buds will thank you!
