Instagram post 2181957539325899668_7947092009 The olive harvest in Greece has begun. When we lived in Crete from 2014-2015, I remember picking olives on a hilly grove in the village with a rake like tool. It was tough work. We’d hit the branches with the same action we use for a fly swatter. We’d then fill 50kg sacks and the men would carry them up the hill. We only spent one whole day doing this work and by the end of the day our arms had gone completely numb. Yet my family spends one whole month doing this work. It provides them with a year’s worth of EVOO plus if the yield is good they sell some too. - - - #greekfood #greekcuisine #mediterraneanfood #mediterraneandiet #foodtravel #travelfood #foodblogs #foodblogeats #foodblogging #foodtour #foodtrip #crete #cretanfood #chania #foodtravel #foodtours #olivegroves #harvestseason #foodielife #experientialtravel #uniqueexperiences #slowtravel #culinarytravel #oliveoil #slowliving #foodiechats #foodblogfeed #foodexperience #olives #olive

Instagram post 2181226411413680144_7947092009 It’s quite a hike through the river to get to Preveli beach in Crete. Many beautiful natural sites in Greece require a lot of walking to get to but I promise you, the effort is worth it.

Until my next pie making session, thank you Angela from @angelas_kitch - - - #cookingclass #greekcookingclass #melbournetodo #pastry #cook #eat #class #learntocook #greekclass #pie #greek #cooking #cookingram #melbournefood #melbournefoodscene #greekfood #greekfoodmelbourne #greekfoodblogger #bakingclass #foodclass #cookingexperience #cookingtips #melbournecookingclasses #letscook #foodie #instafood #topfoodmelbourne #melbournefood #cookingclasses
Instagram post 2179773607436100615_7947092009 Once you get shown how to make something in person by an expert, you will never forget the process. There’s a big difference between learning from a recipe and learning through hands on experience. I love learning by watching. How do you learn best? Pites just before going into the oven at yesterday’s cooking class with @angelas_kitch. Want it now! - - - #cookingclass #greekcookingclass #melbournetodo #pastry #cook #eat #class #learntocook #greekclass #culinaryschool #culinary #cooking #cookingram #melbournefood #melbournefoodscene #greekfood #greekfoodmelbourne #greekfoodblogger #bakingclass #foodclass #cookingexperience #cookingtips #melbournecookingclasses #letscook #foodie #instafood #topfoodmelbourne #melbournefood #cookingclasses
Instagram post 2179384905077638449_7947092009 Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of being in the presence an amazing culinary teacher @angelas_kitch but also in the great company of @thecookbookkitchen and @myfamilysfooddiary whom I love spending time in the kitchen with. We took part in a pita making cooking class where we learnt how to make filo pastry for a circular pita with a base and lid, strifti which is a snail shape and parcel shapes for bougatsa, all were made using the stretching technique. Attending cooing classes gives you the hands on experience and arms you with the confidence to attempt recipes in your own home. It gives you a lot more than simply reading a recipe because you gain valuable tips and knowledge that sometimes is not in the recipe as it goes by feel or sight. I had such a wonderful time, Angela is a hospitable, warm and entertaining host. Pictured is the sweet pumpkin pie that would be lovely for breakfast or dessert. Hope you all have a good week! - - - #cookingclass #greekcookingclass #melbournetodo #pastry #cook #eat #class #learntocook #greekclass #culinaryschool #culinary #cooking #cookingram #melbournefood #melbournefoodscene #greekfood #greekfoodmelbourne #greekfoodblogger #bakingclass #foodclass #cookingexperience #cookingtips #melbournecookingclasses #letscook #foodie #instafood #topfoodmelbourne #melbournefood #cookingclasses

Greek Pita bread is used as a wrap for souvlaki but also as an accompaniment to dips. It is surprisingly easy to make and well worth baking your own and eating it fresh off the stove. Ingredients: 2 teaspoons active dry yeast 1 teaspoon sugar 150 ml milk, at room temperature 80 ml water, at room temperature 300g strong plain flour 1 teaspoon coarse salt 1 tablespoon olive oil + extra for brushing Method: Combine the sugar, yeast, water and milk in a bowl. Set the bowl aside for 5 minutes, until the mixture starts to froth and then add the oil. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and the salt. Add the flour to the yeast mixture in small batches, ensuring each batch is fully incorporated before adding the next. Transfer mixture to a lightly floured working surface and knead for 4-5 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a bowl that has been brushed with some oil, cover with a towel and let it rest for about 40 minutes, until it rises and doubles in size. Place a pan over medium heat. Cut into 6 equal sized pieces and place on a lightly oiled working surface. Use a rolling pin to roll out each piece of dough to a circle 20 cm in diameter. Cook the pita bread for 1-2 minutes on each side in the pan, until they puff up slightly. Transfer to a plate and serve. - - - #greekfood #greekcuisine #mediterraneanfood #mediterraneandiet #foodtravel #travelfood #foodblogs #foodblogeats #foodblogging #foodtour #foodtrip #crete #cretanfood #chania #foodtravel #inmykitchen #huffposttaste #thekitchn #lifeandthyme #huffpostfood #tastingtable #heresmyfood #buzzfeedtasty #comfortfood #fromscratch #tastyfood #makeitdelicious #eatstagram #foodbloggers #tastemade
Instagram post 2176885989312699930_7947092009 Success of Greek pita bread is determined by your dough, the kneading of it and how you cook it. - - - #greekfood #greekcuisine #mediterraneanfood #mediterraneandiet #foodtravel #travelfood #foodblogs #foodblogeats #foodblogging #foodtour #foodtrip #crete #cretanfood #chania #foodtravel #inmykitchen #huffposttaste #thekitchn #lifeandthyme #huffpostfood #tastingtable #heresmyfood #buzzfeedtasty #comfortfood #fromscratch #tastyfood #makeitdelicious #eatstagram #foodbloggers #tastemade
