Ancient  Greek Dinner in Olive Grove

Mariana's tour begins with a light breakfast and an unforgettable Cretan beverage. You will follow the trail made by Arabs, Jews, Venetians, Ottomans, Greeks from Asia Minor, and immigrants through Chania, learning about the different tastes & flavors they have added to local cuisine.
 
The tour ends with a dive into the distant past. You will visit Chania's archaeological museum or an archaeological site where you'll gain an in depth understanding of the cooking materials and processes used in Ancient Greece. From there, you'll head to a ceramic workshop or a local taverna where you'll have the chance to have a short lesson in ancient cooking and be treated to home-baked bread, made just as they did in Ancient Greece, and other historical delicacies!

I am an experimental food archaeologist-food historian, who recreates Greek historical recipes using ancient or modern techniques for spectacular food events.

In 2009 I founded  'Greek Culinary History & Cooking Adventures' to create interactive, edible experiences that bring historical Greek gastronomy to life through synesthesia (union of the senses) as well as explore the relationship between art and food. 

My work takes many forms, including pop-up dinners, experiments, lectures, historic cooking courses, edible installations, and food walking tours. On the walking tours, we do not only eat, we also explore the tales behind the foods and the preparation of each food item. 

I am the author of a Gourmand award-winning cookbook, The Language of Taste, which is a dictionary (in Gr.) of the history and culture of Greek food and the founder and organizer of the biennial Symposia of Greek Gastronomy (conference).
