Duration: 4 Hours
Our cooking class begins with a welcoming morning coffee and tea. We start the fire in the wood burning oven and begin to knead our Phyllo dough. We then walk around Lefkada Micro Farm and learn how our food grows. Get to know our trees, our vegetables and our animals. By the time we get back to the kitchen the oven is already hot and the dough is ready to be stretched, filled and rolled. We then prepare four different filling recipes: cheese pie with Feta cheese, wild greens pie with goat cheese, squash pumpkin pie with walnuts and raisins, Graviera cheese pie with honey and cinnamon. Finally, we sit together in our open air kitchen and enjoy what we’ve prepared.
