Spanakorizo. Kourabiethes. Loukoumathes.
You may have difficulty pronouncing them, but that’s not a problem when it comes to eating them!
Queensland’s signature celebration of all things Greek, the famous Paniyiri Festival will this year celebrate with the biggest ever Paniyiri Greek Cooking Program yet, featuring My Kitchen Rules culinary bombshells Tanya and Gen, and winners Shadi and Veronica.
Upstairs in The Greek Club during Paniyiri the secrets behind Greek gastronomy will be revealed, with free sweet and savory demonstrations all day Saturday May 22 & Sunday May 23.
On Saturday May 22 at 3pm at Paniyiri, Brisbane My Kitchen Rules contestants Tanya and Gen will be Keeping Traditions Alive as they demonstrate how to cook Yemista (or for those non-Greeks, Stuffed Tomatoes and Capsicums). Then, it’s over to My Kitchen Rules winners Shadi and Veronica to cook up a Greek storm on Sunday May 23 at 2pm using ingredients of the Mediterranean and bringing them together in Greek Cuisina with a traditional Greek flavour.
As well as a few famous faces, there will be demonstrations on how to entertain Greek style, how to create traditional Greek cuisine, preparing low fat Greek goodies, how to make traditional Greek sweets and more.
