Flavors of Longevity - Ikaria
my greek table with diane kochilas

Diane travels to her family's native island of Ikaria, where locals are 10 times more likely to live to 100 than Americans. Diane's young 85-year-old neighbors share homemade wine and a lesson in making wild herb teas. A beekeeper reveals the honey that is one of the secrets to Ikarians' renowned longevity. Diane's friend Eleni joins her to cook a hearty one-pot summer vegetable stew and savor a rich, plant-based feast. Discover the spirit of Ikaria, which leaves no place for anxiety or life by the clock, but plenty of time for an impromptu dance and a feast for the senses that's healthy as can be. Enjoy the deliciously simple and wonderfully healthy cuisine of Ikaria. Longevity greens pies; Chickpeas baked with vegetables, herbs and honey; Soufico, a sumptuous eggplant casserole.

Duration: 26 minutes and 46 seconds
