On Friday, July 21st, Creta Maris Beach Resort organized an interactive confectionery class on fig spoon sweet preparation, in the context of the resort’s operation according to the “We do local” standard.

The interactive confectionery class started from the resort’s garden, where the guests, were informed about the importance of the fig in the diet of the Mediterranean people from the ancient times. The guests collected figs, which then were transported to the resort’s organic farm. The Executive Chef of Creta Maris, Dimitris Makrakis, welcomed the participants in the farm and informed them about the necessary ingredients they need in order to perform the recipe of the fig spoon sweet, the appropriate proportions, the right way of making it, and all the secrets for the ideal bonding of the sweet.

At the end of the event, the resort’s guests had an authentic experience of the Cretan way of living, by having the opportunity to taste the spoon sweet they created in the accompaniment of aromatic tsikoudia from the Cretan vineyard.

This action is an integral part of the Creta Maris’ overall operation, which aims to support the economy and workforce of the local community and to promote the Cretan way of living, the Greek culture and the traditions of our country.
