Dive into the vibrant flavors of Greece with Evangelia’s Summer Lunch next to Chalkidiki Beach, a unique culinary experience set against the backdrop of one of Greece’s most stunning coastal regions. This 3.5-hour activity invites you to embark on an authentic culinary journey that begins with a visit to the local public market, where you’ll handpick the freshest ingredients for your cooking adventure. With Evangelia’s expert guidance, you’ll select the best local produce and herbs, immersing yourself in the rich traditions of Greek cuisine.
After gathering your ingredients, you’ll return to Evangelia’s welcoming home, just a stone’s throw away from the golden sands and crystal-clear waters of Paralia Dionisiou. Here, creativity and warmth abound, providing the perfect setting for your culinary exploration. Step into the kitchen and dive into the art of Greek cooking, using the treasures you’ve just acquired. Evangelia, with her vibrant personality and deep knowledge of Greek gastronomy, will lead you through the preparation of a variety of traditional dishes that capture the essence of Mediterranean summer.
The menu is a celebration of the rich flavors and fresh ingredients that define Greek cuisine. You’ll start with Feta Cheese, a soft, tangy cheese made from sheep’s or goat’s milk, paired with Village Bread, a rustic loaf traditionally baked in wood-fired ovens. The meal continues with a fresh Greek Salad, also known as Horiatiki, made with juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, onions, olive oil, and oregano—a true taste of the Mediterranean.
For the main course, you’ll prepare Traditional Stuffed Tomatoes and Peppers, where vibrant vegetables are filled with a savory mixture of rice and herbs like spearmint, then baked to perfection. This dish is a staple of Greek summer dining, offering a taste of the country’s rich agricultural heritage. As you sit down to enjoy the meal with Evangelia and your fellow participants, you’ll find that the experience extends beyond just food.
