The traditional cuisine of the Grecanica area derives directly from the pastoral and peasant culture and as such reflects the environmental constraints of this harsh land, with its contrasting mountain and sea views, and the historical influences of Magna Graecia. The local Calabrian dishes are simple, poor and flavoured with the 'strong' and genuine flavours of a long peasant tradition and change according to the season and what the land generously offers.

Kalos Experience, with its Creco-Calabrian cooking workshop, intends to offer a course to bring those interested closer to the ancient flavours of Greek Calabria through the preparation of those typical dishes that use poor and common ingredients of Greek Calabria and that can therefore also be reproduced at home with a few tricks:

- i maccaruni, homemade pasta shaped around cannìci (thin sticks of a herb), seasoned with a sauce made from pieces of goat or pork meat cooked in tomato sauce (which are then separated and eaten as a second course) and sprinkled with salted ricotta;
- i tagghiarini cu li ciciri, homemade pasta accompanied by chickpeas flavoured with bay leaves
- pruppetti di ricotta cooked in tomato sauce and flavoured with pecorino cheese;
- excellent to serve as an appetiser or aperitif are lestopitte (pitte veloci) unleavened pastry fried in olive oil, and zippole (zippole) leavened stringy pastry sometimes twisted together with a piece of anchovy, stretched and always fried in olive oil.

An expert in traditional cuisine will accompany the participants in their search for typical flavours and ingredients to get to know the food and wine world of the Greeks of Calabria. He will make them cook, test dishes, compare flavours and combinations so that in five days they will become true connoisseurs of the Greek cuisine of Calabria.
