Crete*s Culinary Sanctuaries Seminar: The Magnificent West

CCS Presents The Magnificent West:  Wild Nature, Organic Food Production, Cooking Demos and Hands-On Cooking Classes

Available Dates:  September 27- October 2, 2010

Join us for an exciting seminar in Western Crete focusing on food from the ground up.  Our base is in a small village in the foothills of the magnificent White Mountains.  We’ll spend a week exploring the region and enjoying the superb fresh and local cuisine.  Before we head to the kitchen to cook with great local chefs, we’ll meet people that produce traditional and organic ingredients in the region, which is the foundation for culinary delights to come.

We’ll travel to organic farms to discover how high-quality olive oil and wine is produced and taste the results.  Along the way, we’ll stop at traditional bakeries and artisan food shops. Throughout the week, we’ll meet people involved in cultural-natural heritage preservation projects, enjoy the fresh air during walks in the countryside and relax in peaceful villages.  Accommodation is in beautifully restored cottages or apartments in the village with private balconies or gardens.
