Recap: Greek Independence Day Supper Club

 

Last night I hosted a Greek Supper Club commemorating Greek Independence Day, complete with a Lent-friendly 5-course menu.

Greek wines and spirits were poured by my friends at Kolonaki Group.

Many specialty products from Greece were provided by BuyGreek.shop, including Cretan olive oil and balsamic vinegar at your table.
