3 degrees of separation? It's all Greek to me!

Hi! I am back again with my latest goss on food, cooking and my favourite past time eating! A very successful week with my year 12 Food & Technology students completing their last practical productions with great success on Tuesday. Chia Yu and Kelly made a nice sponge or two and as well we had success with Jasmine making sorbet. Marie's spelt flatbread and souvlakis a hit... which brings me to tonights Greek food feast at Cafe Platia on Burke Rd Camberwell. A mega feast with the Italian o/s visitors including franca and her afmily and Paola, The EDSC prin class and Italian staff from our school. The banquet began with the usual dip platter of tzasiki, melizanosalata, tarama, saganaki, loukanika, then calamari...more squid in a vegetable sauce (not sure about this dish?) Then mmm mmm! Char grilled Prawns..very moreish! succulent and tasty. Like we were needing more food? out comes the meat platter with souvlaki, gyros, chicken skewers and a big Greek salad. The chef and owner brings out the oyzo and hello hello! just so happens it takes 30 seconds to work out that we are related. LOL! 6 degrees of separation? With Greeks it really is 3! So if you are looking to eat Greek food Cafe Platia is worth a try for the usual Greek banquet. Tomorrow I am running a cooking class for the Italian o/s students...lamington butterfly cupcakes.Laters!
