In the last few years I have been running cooking classes for young and old who want to discover the local cuisine.
I introduce them to simple Mykonian comfort food, using traditional local ingredients.
It is a bit weird, but also super fun, to watch the reactions of my students as they knead or touch – for the very first time – the fluffy dough for the Mykonian Onion Pie or when they pinch the Pinched Pies. And also when we chop pork meat using two knives – as was done traditionally in the past – to make minced meat for the traditional Mykonian Meatballs.
