Description
In the heart of Corfu, traditional cooking methods continue to thrive. Over time, Mediterranean influences have blended with classical Greek cuisine, creating a unique style that reflects the island's rich produce. This book explores the culinary traditions of Corfu, where the pace of life is determined by the seasonal cycle and food plays a central role in social gatherings. The authors' experience living in a remote village on the north-east coast of the island provided them with a unique insight into local cooking practices. The Lousiotes people, who are passionate about food, shared their recipes and techniques with James Chatto and his wife Wendy Martin. This book presents a collection of traditional Corfiot dishes, including those linked to Christian festivals, as well as the use of seasonal ingredients such as olives, vegetables, fruit, meat, cheese, and wine. The result is a fascinating exploration of the island's culinary heritage, which offers a glimpse into the daily lives of the people who live there.
