AUTHENTIC GREEK FOOD
We would be happy to assist in organising a roasted pig, chicken or lamb, cooked in a traditional Cretan manner, in the oven or barbeque.
If you prefer, we can also offer “ofto” - a particular way of cooking, we can organize a special day at an extra cost.
You and your guests can enjoy an evening of "antikristo lamb.’’ The name derives from the cooking method which literally means “across the fire”. This technique is very popular among the mountain areas of Crete where lamb is the predominant economic source. Shepherds cook lamb this way because it is easy to prepare and cook.
This is a unique Cretan technique of cooking meat in a slow way, placed around the fire. The meat is cooked by the heat produced by the flames and we assure you that the taste is one of a kind! A local shepherd can prepare everything for you and you and your guests are sure to be in for a traditional treat!
This can be arranged upon request (if weather permits it)

GREEK MAMA COOK
You can quickly embrace the culture of your destination by tasting the delicious local recipes from a Greek Mama Cook, Maria, who will take care of your daily meals. We understand how important it is having someone taking care of you and your friends or family, helping with the kitchen, dinner, the shopping and the setting of the table.
The only thing you need do is to be relaxed and enjoy every minute at this beautiful and peaceful environment.
Greek Mama will do the shopping for you and prepare with extra care local, home made recipes, served as authentic family dishes and you get to enjoy Cretan hospitality at its best. Local ingredients, traditional recipes are prepared and served for you and your loved ones.
Cook service is available on request, subject to availability at an additional cost (payable locally) and needs to be booked well in advance to avoid disappointment.
