Lentils cooked in amphorae, Octopus cooked in beer with grape molasses, Cuttlefish in white wine vinegar. These are dishes from the ancient Minoan civilization (2700-1450 B.C.), disinterred on the beach of the Blue Palace hotel in Elounda, on the island of Crete, in Greece. This is Minoan Tastes, an interesting event which will take place until October
Rediscovering the dishes of the ancient Minoan civilization, learning the cooking techniques used 3 thousand years ago, tasting Greek cuisine specialties starting from products which, in ancient times, were the foundations of the current Mediterranean diet: you can experience all this, throughout the summer and until the end of October, on the island of Crete, in Elounda, thanks to Minoan Tastes, an event organised on the beach of the Blue Palace hotel. Minoan Tastes is created by a group of chefs and culinary experts (among them Jerolyn Morrison, Stefi Chlouveraki and Jad Alyounis), who had the idea of discovering ancient recipes and cooking techniques that go back to the age of Minos, and to present them as an event or an itinerant catering.
