Immerse into the artisanal pastry and the cultural world of Syros

Sweets are an integral part of Syros tradition. A dessert is what you need for every occasion. Traditional or deconstructed, complex or simpler, every happy moment in Greek life is associated with desserts. Your all-senses’ journey through the memorable flavours and aromas of cultured Syros starts in an old mansion house. Discover the techniques and history behind traditional Syros artisanal cuisine in this hands-on cooking class.

 

Your destination angel, an experienced local cook, welcomes you warmly into her family home, an old mansion house to admire evocative furniture, photographs, paintings and daily life objects that are not found in any other mansion in Syros. Allow the conversation to unfold as you learn about local culture and history. Let your destination angel present you the ingredients you will use for your hands- on artisanal pastry class and by getting to know essential information about local ingredients.

 

We will be introduced into two local recipes and food styling: a typical pastry of the Syros countryside and another one of Hermoupolis 19th century bourgeois class. Enjoy the local recipes with an aromatic Greek coffee and reveal the hidden stories behind the pastries you have cooked!

 

See if you can resist the local sweets!
