This past summer I had the pleasure of visiting many of the islands in the southern Aegean known as the Dodecanese (Twelve Islands). I began in Rhodes and ended up in Patmos and along the way I witnessed the beauty of these islands, made new friends with the locals and tasted first hand the uniquely cuisine from this region.

Last Sunday, at St. Lawrence Market Kitchen, 60 dinner guests joined me for a delicious and fun night of Greek food, wine and good parea. Thank you to Nisos Importing for their Cretan olive oil, Kolonaki Group for the excellent Greek wine selection.

 

Thank you to Mary-Catherine (sous-chef) and my servers Danielle, Elena, and Tania. All photos captured by Christina Kakaletris.
