The Perfect Lamb Dinner

w/ Chef Constantine "Dino" Kolitsas of Greca

Step into a world where history and flavor collide with Chef Dino, fresh from his culinary battle on the Food Network's "Chopped!" This is your ticket to a gastronomic adventure as he unveils the secrets of his beloved lamb dish, "Kleftiko"—a homage to the Greek War of Independence. Imagine lamb enveloped in parchment, infused with the essence of potatoes, vibrant herbs, fresh vegetables, and the rich, nutty notes of kefalograviera cheese.

The journey begins with a tantalizing tasting of Greek cheeses, setting the stage for a masterclass in flavor. Chef Dino will then captivate you with modern twists on two Greek classics that promise to redefine your culinary expectations. Delight in the spiraled artistry of spanakopita, where spinach and pastry entwine in a dance of taste and texture, before indulging in the sweet symphony of Gianniotiko—a confection of honey, walnuts, and the delicate layers of kataifi and phyllo pastry.

This isn't merely a cooking class; it's an exploration of tradition, innovation, and the culinary spirit that defines Greece. Join Chef Dino for an unforgettable session that will leave your palate inspired and your culinary skills elevated.

Menu: Lamb Kleftiko; a spiraled version of spanakopita (spinach pie), and
Gianniotiko (honey, walnuts, kataifi pastry and phyllo).
