The Cretan Plate · Chania
Cook five dishes with a Cretan family,
then sit down and eat them.
An evening at Stella and Silver’s home, ten minutes from Old Town Chania. Come on your own or bring people.
Not a demonstration. You cook it.
Sleeves up, the Cretan way: five traditional dishes from seasonal produce, much of it straight from the garden. Then everyone sits down and eats what they made, slowly and together.
It is less a class and more an evening around a table with new friends.
Arrive at five. Eat at seven.
- A drink and an introduction.Everyone meets, nobody is shy for long.
- Into the garden.Pick what is ready, meet the chickens and the goats.
- Cook, all of it, hands on.Five dishes and the wood oven, Stella leading.
- Sit down and eat.Everything you made, organic wine, the sun going down over the olive groves.
The same sentence keeps coming back.
