Visitors to Greece often return claiming to have found
their own little piece of paradise . . . endless blue skies,
wonderfully warm Mediterranean days and landscapes that
you can only dream of, until you visit the country. The
stuff of dreams! A mountainous country with a stunning coastline
and many beautiful islands. Wherever you go in Greece you
will enjoy the famous Greek hospitality as well as the fascinating
Greek cuisine.
Greek food is a blend of tradition and foreign influence.
Geographically close to Italy and Turkey the cooking of
these two countries has influenced Greek cuisine. The Greek
diet is very much a Mediterranean one with a plentiful use
of vegetables. The true cooking of Greece has to be experienced
to be understood as it only bears a passing resemblance
to many of the dishes served in Greek restaurants outside
Greece.
Whilst the Greek diet is not a vegetarian one the Greeks
eat far less meat than northern Europeans and North Americans.
There are many vegetarian dishes in Greek cuisine consisting
of pulses, vegetables, greens and fruits ensuring there
is something for all tastes.

Cook
East |
| One
of the delights of a holiday abroad can be experiencing
the real cuisine of the region in the actual cultural
setting. For many of us the cuisine of a region
can be just as novel and interesting as the landscape
or the guilded temples. Even the most casual cook
can be intrigued by the selection of ingredients,
preparation and cooking of the meals, particularly
when the results can be so satisfying. Cook East
has a range of informal classes with cooking schools
well suited for complete beginners as for people
who view cooking as a satisfying hobby. A hands-on
exploration into the cuisine of a culture is an
ideal way to gain insight and greater immersion
into that destination. |
