Ένα μεγάλο ευχαριστώ στις 14 υπέροχες κυρίες από την Πολωνία που συμμετείχαν στο cooking workshop μας!
Μαζί ταξιδέψαμε στην ιστορία της Κρητικής διατροφής, γνωρίσαμε τα μυστικά της Μινωικής κουζίνας και γευτήκαμε τοπικά προϊόντα όπως το ελαιόλαδο, κρασί από τους Κρητικούς αμπελώνες και ρακί.
Η εμπειρία κορυφώθηκε όταν όλοι καθίσαμε στο ίδιο τραπέζι και απολαύσαμε το γεύμα που μαγειρέψαμε με αγάπη και συνεργασία.
Ευχαριστώ για τη θετική σας ενέργεια, το ενδιαφέρον σας και τις όμορφες στιγμές που μοιραστήκαμε!
Na zdrowie και να ξανασυναντηθούμε!

A big thank you to the 14 wonderful ladies from Poland who joined our cooking workshop!
Together, we explored the history of the Cretan diet, discovered the secrets of Minoan cuisine, and tasted local treasures like olive oil, wine from Cretan vineyards, and raki.
The highlight of the day was when we all sat around the same table and enjoyed the meal we lovingly prepared together.
Thank you for your positive energy, your curiosity, and the beautiful moments we shared!
Na zdrowie – and I hope we meet again!

Serdeczne podziękowania dla 14 wspaniałych pań z Polski, które wzięły udział w naszym warsztacie kulinarnym!
Razem odkrywaliśmy historię kreteńskiej diety, poznaliśmy sekrety kuchni minojskiej i kosztowaliśmy lokalnych skarbów: oliwy z oliwek, wina z kreteńskich winnic oraz rakii.
Kulminacją dnia był wspólny posiłek – usiedliśmy przy jednym stole i delektowaliśmy się potrawami, które przygotowaliśmy razem z sercem i pasją.
Dziękuję za pozytywną energię, ciekawość i cudowne chwile, które razem przeżyliśmy!
Na zdrowie – do zobaczenia!
