GREEK CHEFS ABROAD culinary series 2021

presents

Irini Tzortzoglou

2nd July 2021

The inspiration for these dishes is a combination of the natural abundance of wonderful local produce and ingredients in Greece brought to life using recipes out of my book “Under The Tree" as interpreted and executed by MarBella Nido’s hotel team and paired with a fine selection of Greek wines recommended by MarBella’s expert sommeliers.

I wish you a most enjoyable evening!
