Greek Home Cooking

Greek Bean Soup

Where better to learn the secrets of authentic Greek Cooking than in your own holiday villa in Corfu!
An exclusive opportunity to combine relaxation and the pure joy in learning Greek Cooking.

Mealtime in many Corfiot households can be quite a laid back affair. Rather than having courses one after another, all manner of dishes tend to find their way onto the table simultaneously for diners to pick and choose from. The only exception to this is desserts, which are normally served separately at the end of a meal.

In the comfortable surroundings of Villa Linakis kitchen our chef will demonstrate how to make such traditional favourites as moussaka, sofrito, spinach pie and tzatziki. Once you have seen how they are

prepared you can enjoy the additional benefit of eating the finished results, Greek style, for your lunch or dinner!

You will be able to select meals from our menu options and choose the days on which you would like the demonstrations to take place, allowing you flexibility to enjoy other aspects of Corfu during the winter months.

Our chef is English by birth. Having trained and qualified as a chef in the UK she moved to Corfu in the early 1990s where she met her Greek husband. She has built on her catering skills over the years in the kitchens of various restaurants and tavernas along the northern coastline, and perhaps most importantly has learned many local recipes from her Greek mother-in-law.
