Last weekend we celebrated aromas and flavours of Athens. I returned to the St. Lawrence Market Kitchen which has just been recently renovated but the backdrop of Toronto’s skylin is there and more spectacular Greek wines – this time from Lyrarakis Crete,Sigalas Santorini, Tsilili Theopetra Estate Meteora and Papagiannakos of Attiki.
All courses were made with Cretan olive oil and products from Nisos Importing and table water from Theoni Canada. Wines poured and distributed by Chris Dedes of Majestic Wine & Spirits.
Thank you to Kent Armstrong for the photpgraphy. Bravo!
