The gastronomic tradition of Corfu is lost during the passage of the centuries. When Corfu was under Venetian control the Venetians influenced all areas of the daily life of the Corfiot’s and of course their eating habits, since why the Venetians brought new products, which the Corfiot’s “adopted” and created with them new recipes, which were adapted to the local gastronomic traditions. This kind of intricate mix created the famous Corfiot gastronomy, which is based on the Mediterranean diet including pure virgin olive oil and unique quality local products produced on the is-land as enriched with spices, many herbs but mainly with the love of Corfiot’s for food and cooking.

Cooking with friends according to the Corfiot tradition is a ritual, joy, celebration and requires the participation of all. The locals cook without any haste, as their food is simmered in the pot, scattering spicy smells all around. However, during the cooking, they sing, they chat, joke and drink ouzo or pure homemade wine. At a proper Corfiot meal the variety of food is always rich and includes many different recipes, an indication of the willingness of the people of Corfu to please their guests.
Gastronomy is widely known on the island of Corfu and constitutes a unique experience itself, if it is based on fresh products, authentic recipes, and much love.
We are going to experience the whole process of cooking together, from first to last, take part in it and understand the techniques concerning authentic recipes, passed down over many generations.
This lunch will be the most delicious and enjoyable in our lifetime for three reasons: it was prepared with Corfiot, virgin oil and fresh products picked from Corfiot gardens and cooked with much love, appreciation, and smile in the refreshing and rejuvenating countryside of Corfu.

We will wear on our cooking aprons and hats and with the instructions of the Corfiot cook we will start boiling the rooster, cutting the vegetables, frying the appetizers, mixing the pasta. None of them will be precooked, as we will cook all our recipes from the beginning to the very end, with virgin Corfiot olive oil and many fresh herbs. When our first appetizers are prepared, we will enjoy them while drinking an aromatic Greek ouzo or local wine.
