Food and Traditions of Mani Peninsula -Tough landscape and tough people!
The Delicious LegacyHello!
Brand new episode is out for all of you lovely subscribers!
This time we are going to the hard and unforgiving landscape of Mani Peninsula in Southern Greece. Peloponnesos!
Vendettas lasting decades... Towering villages in inhospitable mountains...Rocky and barren peninsulas with crystal clear azure waters. The landscape of Mani is unique, and so are it's people!
We are looking for the traditional foods, recipes and ways of cooking as well as ingredients, the simple, hearty things that these unconquerable people ate the past few centuries! What is the role of olives and olive oil in their life, economy and cuisine? What is 'Syglino'? what is 'Sfela'?
What was the role of quails in people's diets? How do you bake a whole quail in bread and how to preserve it in olive oi?
Why so many writers and artists fell in love with the landscape of Mani? From Patrick Leigh Fermor and Nikos Kazantzakis to many others!
On top of all this I will be going through some fantastic recipes from the region, some vegetarian, some vegan, some meat dishes and some local desserts! All of course feature copious amounts of the regions fantastic extra virgin olive oil!
