The Culinary Tapestry of Corfu | My Greek Table with Diane Kochilas

Mar 12, 2025 | Diane explores the rich, cuisine of Corfu, a mixture of Greek, Italian, French and others. A local cook makes a Venetian soffrito, and orange salad. In the market: Corfu's famous kumquats, ouzo-infused figs, local fish. Diane cooks up mixed braised greens with feta, an Italian fish stew called bourtheto and Venetian pastitsio, reworked for the modern cook.

This season, it's Greece's coastal areas and islands. Mykonos shares its agrarian secrets. Tinos, we visited a marble sculptor and made pastels. Paros is about sustainable farming. Naxos is excellent meat and potatoes. Chios, its seductive mastiha and fig liqueur. Messinia, I see a friend's villa and meet up with an ultra-marathoner. The Athenian Riviera is all about international Greek food.
