Old World Charms of the Athenian Table
my greek table with diane kochilas

Diane explores the urbane, bourgeois flavors of Athens of another era in this tasty trip down memory lane, when she visits the home and kitchen of 90-year-old Irini Pournara and her daughter Margarita, a journalist for the city's most respected daily paper. Eirini makes an Athenian classic and the only dish to which this city has lent its name: Athinaiki Mayioneza (poached fish and vegetables with homemade mayonnaise), and Diane cooks up a sophisticated artichoke dish called A la Polita and an unusual Meatloaf Wrapped in Grape Leaves. Guests: Irini Pournara; Margarita Pournara.

Episode Duration: 26 minutes and 46 seconds
