Gourmet Cooking Class- Foods of the Greek islands May 4, 2010

The foods of the Greek islands

Stretching from the shores of Turkey to the Ionian Sea east of Italy, the Greek islands have been the crossroads of the Mediterranean since the times of Homer and boast some of the most intriguing food in the world. Simple but never plain, the cooking of the islands relies on flavorful ingredients rather than complicated techniques, making extensive use of seasonal vegetables, fresh herbs, grains and beans, olives and olive oil, cheeses and fish. Inflected with subtle Italian and Eastern accents, the cuisine is at once straightforward and sophisticated. We will take a small tour of the islands and experience some of the following dishes: Mint and ouzo meatballs from Rhodes, Ravioli stuffed with Haloumi and mint and White bean salad with a lemon-caper mayonnaise dressing and other fun and fragrant dishes.
All classes will be held at Willowpond Bed and Breakfast, from 6:30 pm to 8:45 pm. Classes include: recipe packets, a full meal, and wonderful camaraderie. Classes are $50 each.
