With great honor, during November 2014, we hosted at Cressa Ghitonia Village, the largest German magazine of gastronomy "Essen & Trinken" and the exceptional gastronomist and author Kay-Henner Menge , along with the famous photographer Christian Kerber !

The magazine "Essen & Trinken", stands out in Germany and the rest of Europe for its unique gastronomy issues and outstanding reports, along with interviews and travel dining experiences from all over the world, determining the new trends in the world of cooking.

The reason of that meeting was to promote local recipes, fine wine and olive oil from the region of Sfaka and in general of Eastern Crete. Besides, Cressa Ghitonia Village gives special importance to the promotion of Cretan cuisine and its benefits.

We had the pleasure to cook with our Chef, Thanοs Panagiotou, a very tasty and traditional Cretan recipe, grouper with okra and herbs (see recipe in detail here). The cooking took place in our hotel terrace, overlooking the mountains and the sea of Eastern Crete, while attendees enjoyed the experience, in a relaxing and joyful atmosphere.

We thank from our heart the magazine for the excellent cooperation and we can’t wait to cook again together soon!
