Oliveology and Lida Papamatthaiaki
Join Oliveology on Saturday 6th of July for our Vegan Cooking Workshop and Greek Wine Tasting. Oliveology’s very own Lida Papamatthaiaki, will be joining Marianna for a workshop inspired by the Greek lenten diet. Lent is traditionally a time of simple foods, which shares many ideals with modern veganism. The Greek Lenten diet is rich in vegetables, legumes, fruit, olives and olive oil, but also treats, like semolina pudding.
Our resident chef Lida, a trained chef and anthropologist, has prepared a delicious vegan Lenten menu. Her menu is inspired by her Cretan heritage, our star ingredients and the glorious fresh spring produce of Borough Market! During this workshop we will rediscover delicious vegetable stews, add colour and ‘wow’ factor to your pulses and show you how to incorporate super healthy dried fruits and fruit molasses to your daily meals.
At the course, which costs £110.00 for 5 hours, you will learn basic cooking skills, taste ingredients, prepare and cook a seasonal menu, which has been put together by Lida Papamatthaiaki, and participate in every step, from prepping ingredients to cooking and plating. The dishes will be paired with a tasting of unique Greek wines.
Each recipe will use seasonal, mostly organic produce and of course, oliveology products. You will also receive a 10% discount voucher for oliveology and our products.
At the end of the workshop we all sit around the table and share the food we’ve made!
