If you have been a guest at the Poseidonion Grand Hotel, this recipe book will surely bring back pleasant memories. It is just a small selection of our sweetest gastronomic experiences, some of which you may have sampled on the magnificent hotel verandah after a meal, or taken along with you in a snack pack prepared by the hotel on one of your local excursions. If you still haven`t visited the Poseidonion, let this book serve as an introduction to our cuisine. What we`ve set out to offer you is more than just a treat for the taste buds. Our aim is to stimulate all your senses, with images, tastes and aromas.
The philosophy behind a particular cuisine starts with the quality of the ingredients. The Poseidonion has established an organic garden to supply the kitchens with fresh vegetables in preparing the daily menus. This year we added fruit and herbs and a few of our own chickens so you can be sure your morning eggs are the freshest around. In fact our menus in both the `On the Verandah` restaurant and the `Library Bar Brasserie` rely on locally available meat and fish. You`ll taste the difference - our cuisine has already earned the Greek `Golden Hat` culinary award. This year renowned chef Ghristophoros Peskias is coming to re-design the menus in both the `On the Verandah` restaurant and the `Library Bar Brasserie`, while the well loved `Freud Oriental` restaurant will be with us during July and August.
This book is divided into four sections: chocolate, fruit, eggs and traditional recipes. You will also find a number of secrets and tips to help make their preparation as effortless and enjoyable as possible. In addition, by purchasing this recipe book, you`ll be helping to support the Spetses Shipbuilders Association and, by extension, local marine tradition (see Editor`s note for details).
