Learn the Ikarian approach to cooking that aims to make food both delicious and nourishing. Eleni Karimalis, who runs a winery and farmhouse restaurant on Ikaria with her husband George, shares a method inherited from her ancestors and refined alongside some of the longest-lived people on the island.
The workshop begins with the principles behind the method: how heat is applied to protect nutrients, which ingredients are paired or kept apart, and how the balance of a meal shifts with the seasons. The rest of the session is hands-on cooking practice, followed by a shared meal paired with natural wine from the Karimalis family vineyard.
