A culture where food is lovingly prepared, to be shared, using fresh seasonal vegetables and fruits, along with beans, grains, olive oil, fish, eggs, cheese and yogurt.

I was once called an honorary Greek, because you will often find a variety of Greek dishes appearing on our table!  So, many of the recipes we will make are really tried and true!  The tzatziki, I know, it has appeared in other sessions, but it absolutely must be included in this menu, and it is so good!  Oh, and the cake, this one took a little time to adapt to gluten free, but was a cake that was made during my catering days, and always a hit.

Working together with others who attend on the day, you will make prepare a vibrant, delicious feast to share as we sit, relax, eat and chat to finish the session.

More Information:
I prefer not to call this a cooking class, but more of a hands-on cooking and knowledge sharing session, where those attending learn and share from my experience. I am not a trained chef, just taught and guided by my experiences, and driven by my love of cooking, sharing, and celebrating with food.
