Cooking classes, or rather gastronomy sessions will be just that, a taste-bud experience, a Kytherian experience. Simple food created from simple ingredients either from our own estate or produce of the island. The original lesson where you will be shown how fresh cheese is made, its versatility in its use in savory and sweet dishes. All Things Sweet, where Kytherian sweets showcase Rozethes, the almond sweets to die for, Xerotigana, using world class thyme honey. For those wanting to learn a few Greek vegan recipes this is where we’ll make spinach pie, Melomakarona the traditional honey biscuits and also an aromatic sweet celebration bread, Arto.
Explanations concerning the care of goats resulting in sweet aromatic milk, the production of our cold pressed olive oil and the use of traditional ingredients for traditional recipes will be provided.
