As part of the “Aegean cuisine” programme, Aegean is giving its passengers the opportunity to enjoy a meal inspired by traditional recipes from the Cycladic and Dodecanese islands.
All passengers on international flights will have the chance to enjoy a hot meal from Aegean cuisine and Business Class passengers will be offered a choice of two hot meals. Business class passengers on domestic flights can enjoy a cold meal.
The menu includes special creations by the chef Nikos Sarantos with the contribution of the chef George Xatzigiannakis, all inspired by the book "Aegean Cuisine" of KETA S. Aegean, written by Diana Kochyla. Mr. Sarantos has served as chairman of the Greek Chef's Club and of Eurotoque. Discover Aegean Cuisine
Aegean Cuisine embodies tradition, seasonality, healthfulness, and all the basics of the greater Mediterranean Diet. The Aegean table is delicious. A wealth of seasonal and regional vegetables and fruits, from Tinos artichokes to Santorini and Kos tomatoes to a wealth of wild greens and more, much more, gives the table sparkling freshness all year round. The cheeses are among the most varied in all of Greece. Within Aegean Cuisine you will find a vast range of delicious healthful bean dishes, succulent lamb and goat dishes, unusual grains, fish and seafood recipes galore, small plates of mezedes, and desserts made with local spoon sweets, the sweetest almonds, honey, and other traditional, indeed, ancient, ingredients. Aegean Cuisine is rooted in traditions that have always existed on the islands, but the foods are as timely and relevant today as they were a thousand years ago! The ultimate Mediterranean Diet, that’s what Aegean Cuisine is all about.
