TRADITIONAL GREEK COOKING ACTIVITIES - 2008
|
We are a small independent company with offices in the UK, Greece and Holland. This ensures professional standards and provides a personalised approach for our customers for all our services and activities. We do not provide flights to and from Greece. On our site you will find ALL the information that you require to travel to Poros. We believe that in the era of low cost airlines, you get better value for money arranging these independently.

Ever wondered what a Gyros, Baklava, Kleftiko, Souvlaki, Mezethes are ? Even better, would
you like to learn how to make these in a beautiful, friendly and informal setting, using
traditional Greek methods, and then sit down for a traditional Greek dinner that you have
prepared.
At Odyssey centre we have Katerina Sakelliou. Katerina is passionate about cooking and is
interested and knowledgeable in the historical roots of traditional Greek cooking and she
specialises in both traditional and modern Greek cooking. Katerina's skills have become very
sought after and when she is not giving lessons in Poros or preparing and supervising the
meals at Odyssey Bistro in Askeli, she also provides lessons in Greek cooking throughout other
parts of Europe.
The ancient Greeks were one of the first to discover the advantages of adding herbs and
spices to their food. This process was used not only to enhance the tastes, but also
provided medicinal benefits. Greek food is still to this day, a unique amalgamation of fresh,
seasonal ingredients and a generous blend of these herbs and spices, E.G thyme, rosemary
and oregano - which grow all over Greece. Fish – Greece is surrounded by the Mediterranean
sea and has one of the largest coastal areas of any country in Europe, for this reason fish and
shellfish are integral to Greek food. Fresh seasonal vegetables are also a significant element in
traditional Greek cooking. Greek food would not be Greek without the Olive Oil, nowadays
recognised as part of a healthy diet [containing mono - unsaturated fat] Olives are grown and
olive oil produced in many parts of Greece.






Greek Cooking and the Mediterranean diet is
probably the healthiest in the world [and
very tasty] We hope that what you learn
from participating in any of our Greek cooking
activities will last you a lifetime and provide
you with new,exciting, delicious and healthy
future - dinners for your family and friends at
your home country on your return from
Poros.
