Since the 12th century, Cyprus has been under the successive domination of the French, the Italian, the Turkish and the British Empires. All of them influenced and eventually shaped the island’s cuisine into a mixture of Greek-Mediterranean, Oriental and European cuisine.

This half day course with Philleigh Way transports you to one of the UK’s favourite holiday and food destinations.

Cypriot (with a little Greek!) has boundless recipes, utilising meat, fish and vegetables…. from summery Octopus with squid ink lentils, rich & dark beef rib and onion or fresh peas, feta and mint salad.

All you need is a casual 33c climate to complete the day (weather not guaranteed) great food is though…..
