The Silo Cooking School/Greca Center of Culinary Excellence presents:
A Vegan Tour of Greek Cuisine
Chef Constantine “Dino” Kolitsas Greca Mediterranean Kitchen + Bar
Class is held at The Silo Cooking School, 44 Upland Rd, New Milford CT
Hands-On Participation
The vegan tradition within Greek cuisine is rooted in the poverty experienced in the country through most of the 20th century, and the very lengthy Orthodox fasting calendar during which the observant abstain from meat, dairy, and fish. As a result, the Greek kitchen has developed a wide range of incredible vegan dishes that represent the best of the Mediterranean Diet. At Greca, Chef Dino has championed vegan Greek dishes, which are represented on his menu and the focus of several tasting dinners held at the restaurant.
Menu: Santorini Fava (yellow split pea spread), Fasolia (green beans in an EVOO and fresh tomato sauce), and Imam Baildi (slow-roasted eggplant stuffed with onions in an aromatic tomato sauce).
The son of a restaurateur/chef, Chef Dino Kolitsas was born into the kitchens, working extensively throughout New York, Putnam, Westchester and Connecticut. In 2019, he opened Greca Mediterranean Kitchen + Bar, winning Connecticut Magazine awards for Best New Restaurant, Best Restaurant, and Best Greek/Mediterranean in his first year. Awards have continued coming in ever since, with Greca earning a place in the hearts of Litchfield County food afficionados. With a menu that leans heavily to his Greek heritage, Dino is committed to presenting “rustic and reimagined” Greek cuisine of the highest caliber, rivaling the best Greek restaurants in Manhattan, Athens and Santorini.
