- Green Frog - Classes Tuesdays, Fridays & Saturdays
Every Friday we start the day in the truly Greek way, by making iced coffee or healthy mountain tea, everyone makes their own, to get into the spirit of things. Once the introductions are over we begin by making Stiffado- an iconic Greek dish which is perfect for stress free Dinner parties . This is followed by various appetisers, including spinach and feta pie, dolmades, classic dip tsatsiki and an unbelievably simple yet amazing salad. Followed by our delicious ‘make ahead’ Orange cake to complete the menu.
All this is interspersed with stories about the Island, its culture and how the Mediterranean diet has come to be what it is today. There will be plenty of hands on opportunities during the morning, different products to taste, and then there’s the wine tasting…
Finally we retreat to our beautiful, shady garden area to enjoy all the delicious food we’ve created with a well-deserved ice cold drink – a perfect end to fun filled morning.
