Try your hand at the rhodian kitchen

One of the top (if not the top) traditional restaurants on the island (proud member of Aegean Cuisine & Greek Cuisine Award 2019) is our setup for this cooking lesson; Located at a tiny mountain village, it honors respectfully Rhodes traditions. Led by the restaurant owner, ‘’a living legend of Rhodes’’, this genuine culinary experience also encourages you to walk inside the botanic garden to collect the meal’s fresh ingredients (Mediterranean herbs and vegetables). Follow the instructions of the chef and enjoy the fruits of your effort: A delightful meal with flavors that convey the true taste of Rhodes, set in a rustic open-air dining space with lush views. What makes this cooking class unique is that the Chef guards the island’s best dining secrets. He has customised wood-fired ovens to revive ancient techniques, cooking much of his food low and slow resulting in melt-in-your-mouth creations; Plating up age-old Rhodian classics in handpainted ceramics made by locals; One of his plates is literally cooked overnight in a bread-sealed clay pot that he dramatically smashes at the table in front of your eyes. The menu contains Rhodian classics such as Greek salad, popped with the addition of caper leaves and homemade pickles, Eggplant salad reached next-level status with tahini and yogurt, "dolmades" prepared with grape leaves plucked from local vines, fresh Rhodian bread, sprinkled with Greek salt and local olive oil for extra flavor, infused with the aroma of local mint leaves, pistachio, myrtle twigs and sage, Goat with chickpeas, "Kadaifi", a sophisticated dessert and rose flavored ice cream served with cream, grains and pistachio. This cookhouse is an unassuming mecca for food travelers in Rhodes, a bridging of cultures that allows travelers to cook & taste the best, most unpretentious cuisine Rhodes has to offer to the world.
