Food + Eating in Greece
The Food + Eating in Greece
Food is a huge part of our culture in Greece and our shared lived experience. Imagine yourself, being in the woods with mycologists and naturalists alike and then dining as if we are in an episode of No Reservations or Parts Unknown with Anthony Bourdain. These interwoven meals during our time together are showcasing local treasured delicacies made my experts and cooks who have decades of experience. The community meals we make together are with ingredients we gather as a group and/or bought from local farmers and makers.
Food is tradition, food is movement, food is engagement, food is ritual.
We will guarantee most food allergies can be accommodated with some exceptions(see below)
Expect 2 meals
Breakfast and a large main meal during the day plus, the ever present gift of little snacks in the evening, or what we call mezedakia :)
We will eat at my favorite cafes, tavernas and random stops along the way. We also provide home cooked and prepared food for our attendees, made by myself, our staff and guest cooks. There will be some group and collaborative meal prep and cooking demos throughout the trip to teach folks how to make local cuisine and goodies. We take great honor in preparing the gathered and collected mushrooms and plants, and we hope you enjoy our interactive and home made approach to some of our dining experience.
YOU WILL NOT GO HUNGRY ON THIS TRIP
Expect lots of fresh salads, wild greens, vegan & yogurt based spreads, home style cooking, which can & will include meat and dairy some of the time. However, one thing we will guarantee you will be filled with the best foods throughout the whole trip.
. Vegetarian + Vegan
This tour is simple for vegetarians! Vegans to have a fairly easy time finding and enjoying what Greece has to offer.
Gluten Free
This country is rather BREAD + flour heavy. From the phyllo dough in every spanakopita, to home baked bread on every table makes it very impossible to avoid the presence of gluten.
Please consider this if you have a life threatening gluten allergy.
We CAN make GF arrangements however, we can’t guarantee the absence of potential cross contamination.
Halal or Kosher
Sadly, we are not equipped to fully provide these options at this time. However, we want to do our best to make people feel cared for.
Please be in touch to discuss.
