Corfu: Try the Traditional Cuisine Made of Local Ingredients

[hadikulll]

Corfu Island is located on the vast Ionian Sea. Over the years it has become a popular tourist destination among travelers.

This island enjoys pleasant climatic conditions. You will not find a perfect sunny weather during your stay on this island and maybe some showers.

Corfu’s beautiful verdant vegetation is due to the island receiving the highest rainfall that results in scores of vegetables and herbs to thrive in this region. The vast mountains are interrupted by valleys of olive plantations and other local vegetable products that are grown by the villagers. Corfu’s cuisine in fact has played a significant role in developing the tourism infrastructure on this island.

At a Corfu hotel, you can observe that a lot of importance is given to the food that is served to guests and visitors. One Corfu hotel is distinguished from another by that very special item that is available at the Corfu hotel restaurant. There are plenty of famous Corfu dishes that can be available at the Corfu hotel of your choice.

These dishes can be sampled into two categories, one that has subtle Mediterranean flavours and another that has strong Venetian flavours. Use of large proportions of olive oil in the dishes can be observed. The Mediterranean dishes usually comprise of meat, fish, vegetables and olive oil whereas the Venetian dishes consist of spicy mixture of different ingredients and pasta.

I agree with your comments about Corfiot Cuisine having a strong bearing on Corfu's tourism. Dining out is a major highlight in my Greek holidays and I find it is actually cheaper to dine out in Corfu than to self cater in an apartment or villa.

In my opinion Corfu does not do enough to attract alternative and sustainable tourism therefore I've put together a programme of Special Interest holidays called... "A taste of rural Corfiot Life". The title may give a clue to the fact that cooking lessons are included. :-)

Prior to the start of their holiday our guests choose the dishes they would like to see prepared from a list which includes, tarmasalata/tzatziki/spicy cheese dip/bean soup/ moussaka etc. On their selected day(s) the guests gather in the kitchen to watch the demonstration by our chef. The meals cooked are sufficient for a full evening meal for the number in the party.

We also offer art lessons/wine tasting/guided walks/island tours and a writers circle.

One of the things that I really look forward to when visiting a foreign land or place are the food that they serve. I have tasted a lot of good food, honestly, some even are weird food (but most of them are good). I kinda like the idea of this place, I mean, the climate seems great and from the description it is peaceful as well... one of the best thing that one can enjoy is peace..
