Greek feasting with Angelique

Kalimera. We only travel in style now so today we were picked up by a flash Mercedes van to go to Parikia for a Greek cooking class at the Onira hotel.

We made our Greek feast in an outdoor kitchen at the hotel with the benefit of being able to jump in the pool when the kitchen got too hot. Keyala and Ariah made tomato fritters, India made spanakopita, Dale made pork Tigania and Kylie made her favourite Orange pie (portokalopita). Everything tasted better than the restaurants and we’re thinking a Greek themed Christmas is on the cards.

Our chef teacher was Angelique, a Dutch lady who has lived between Holland and Paros since 1999.

We feasted on our creations with Greek beer and wine for lunch and also had enough to stash in our Tupperware for dinner.Read more
