Corfu is one of the most beautiful islands of Greece, situated in the Ionian Sea, on the North West part of Greece. Due to historical and geographical facts its cuisine has had fewer influences from the East –in contrast to other parts of the country- and more from the West, mainly Italy.
Sofrito, our new recipe, is a characteristic example of those, so called, western influences.
Roasted pork is a favorite for the festive days of Christmas and New Years Day here in Greece. Roasted with rosemary in this traditional Greek way makes it an ideal main course for these festive days.

Spetzofai is a rustic dish, typical of the region of Magnisia in Central-East Greece. It’s a stew made with spicy sausages and peppers and it’s an ideal dish for these cold autumn nights!
This is a delicious dish, very popular thanks to the presence of red peppers. For this recipe we only use horn shaped red peppers known as Florina peppers, mostly cultivated in the Northern region of Florina, thus the name. They’ve got an intense, sweet flavor which makes every dish they’re used in so delicious.
