Life of Loi: Mediterranean Secrets

Think Like A Greek, Cook Like A Greek

Chef Maria Loi visits stunning Cape Sounio in Eastern Attica, with friends Anna Myrha and Panagiotis Sopiadis. They set sail on the beautiful waters of the Aegean sea while preparing a simple Horiatiki Salata (Village Salad). In nearby Legrena, Maria and friend Antonis Zagouris prepare classic Tsipoura Psito (Grilled Porgy) and Calamari Gemisto (Grilled Stuffed Calamari). Back in her kitchen in New York, she invites Chef Jehangir Mehta to cook with her. Keeping in mind the 'waste not, want not' mindset of the Greeks, they prepare their own take on the traditional Horiatiki Salata (Village Salad), and an easy Tsipoura Psarosoupa (Fish Soup with Porgy).
