The Greek
Smashing Plates
Usually, breaking plates in praise of a musician or dancer is considered part of "kefti" - the irrepressible expression of emotion and joy. A plate might also be broken when two lovers parted so that they would be able to recognise each other by matching the two halves even if many years passed before they met again. Small slintt versions of the mysterious Phaistos disk are used by modern Greek Jewellers this way, with one half kept and worn by each couple.
George Sarmias
George Sarmias - a born Cypriot - experienced cook and restauranteur, has dedicated his life to this passion. He spent his childhood on the islands helping his grand father who farmed vegetables and olives, and spent time in the kitchen with his mother and grandmother.
The Greek Philosophy
Greek food throughout its history and continuing today is for the Greeks a philosophy. They know that what makes a perfect feast is not just the food, but also the good company! Food is always prepared with the tastes of the guest in mind, should the dishes be roasted or fried, Light or Heavy, and the wine carefully chosen.
