A Taste of Ikaria, Greece
After spending 10 unforgettable days on the Blue Zone island of Ikaria, cooking in the homes of village elders and soaking up their slow, joyful rhythm of life, I’ve brought home something truly special — and I can’t wait to share it with you.
This hands-on, 3-hour cooking class is your invitation to experience the simplicity, connection and sheer deliciousness that make the Ikarian way of eating (and living) one of the healthiest and happiest in the world.
On Ikaria, food isn’t just fuel — it’s medicine, love and community. Meals are unhurried, deeply nourishing and always shared. The people here live longer than almost anywhere else on earth — not because of magic pills or gym memberships, but because of what (and how) they eat.
Together, we’ll cook, share stories and uncover the secrets behind the world’s most joyful longevity diet — straight from the island itself.
On the menu:
Split Pea Fava — humble yet heavenly, smothered with caramelised onions
Carrot Tzatziki — the prettiest, punchiest twist on a Greek classic
Horta — wild greens with olive oil, salt & lots of love
Mizithra (Greek Ricotta) — soft, tangy cheese made by hand
Marouli Salad — crunchy lettuce, fresh herbs, a true village staple
Ikarian Eggplant Imam — the ultimate slow-cooked comfort
Stuffed Vegetables (Gemista) — tomatoes, zucchini & peppers filled with herbs and rice
Soufico — layers of love (and vegetables) straight from the Ikarian kitchen
Yoghurt-Braised Lamb — tender, fragrant, and pure island soul food
Roasted Nut Butter & Stuffed Dates — the sweet, simple finale
You’ll chop, stir, taste and laugh your way through this session, and leave with:
✨ A take-home recipe book
✨ Practical tips for longevity-inspired living
✨ And a belly full of Ikarian warmth, wisdom and joy
