Gastronomy seminars 2014

For the second consecutive year, Costa Navarino will host a gastronomy seminar to promote and establish Messinian cuisine and upgrade services in the region’s catering sector. Messinia is a Greek region particularly rich in culinary tradition and quality raw materials.
The gastronomy seminar will be held on 5-7 May 2014 by the "Captain Vassilis" Foundation and the Messinian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and under the auspices of "Athinorama" magazine and the "Chrysos Skoufos" (Golden Cap) awards. The three-day seminar is expected to be a great learning experience for food service professionals of Messinia, who will receive valuable advice and knowledge from key professionals such as Nena Ismyrnoglou, Lefteris Lazarou and Doxis Bekris. The three distinguished chefs will present Messinian recipes and recognized experts in the field of gastronomy will give practical advice.
Some 150 food service professionals of the region of Messinia are expected to attend the gastronomy seminar. The duration of each seminar will be three hours, including theory, practice and food tasting.
The main aim of the seminar is to promote the region’s local products and flavors and, consequently, to promote tourism in the area. The three-day seminar will take place at Navarino Dunes in Costa Navarino and is open exclusively to professional cooks, chefs and restaurant/hotel owners.
