"Cooking Mommy" Service

Cretan Cuisine is famous all around the world for being healthy, tasty and nutritious!

The secret behind Cretan Cuisine is one: Fresh Produce.

Season Vegetables, fresh meats, plenty of high quality olive oil and of course local herbs.

There are many restaurants and local taverns that offer variety of quality Cretan Dishes all over Crete but also around the world. 

However if you have decided to stay in a private villa or apartment in Crete it would be a pity not trying at least once a home cooked meal!

There are various places, mostly in villages that offer cooking lessons around the island of Crete but there is also the possibility to have a Home Cooking lesson or a "Cooking Mommy" service exactly where you stay.

• Kalitsounia (either filled with herbs - spinach or cheese or both)
• Boureki (a vegetarian dish with zucchinis, potatoes and cretan cheese)
• Gamopilafo (a traditional dish mostly served in Cretan weddings with rice and meat)
• Apaki (a high quality cold cut made of pork prepared in Crete)
• Tsigariasto (cooked lamb)
• Kohlious boubouristous (cooked snails)
• Lamb with stamnagathi (a locally grown herb)
• Stuffed vegetables
• and the list goes on.....
