From field, vineyard and coast to the table.
Read Aegean food not through venue lists, but through the landscape where produce grows, the labour that shapes it, season and migration memory.
19 narratives and 37 place records connect to this discovery world through thematic and geographic relationships.
Four gateways into this world
- Produce and geography — The natural settings of olives, grapes, figs, grain, herbs, fish and dairy.
- Production and labour — Knowledge accumulated in vineyard, mill, bakery, dairy, market and home kitchen.
- Season and harvest — When, where and through which rhythm a product reaches the table.
- Migration and table memory — Traces left by moving communities in recipes, techniques and table habits.
