From traditional pites to innovative Modern Greek food, we showcase the diversity of Greek cuisine during two days of cooking demonstrations.

Travis McAuley, head chef Hellenic Republic, arguably Melbourne's hottest Greek taverna, will present popular dishes from the award-winning restaurant's menu.

Chefs Phil Vakos and Vas Donoudis will demonstrate their flair at creating contemporary Greek dishes.
Vicki Peppos from The Sweet Greek cooking school joins forces with Mary Valle, author of My Greek Kitchen, to present Greek sweets, while cooking instructor Angela Nicolettou draws on her Cypriot roots and shows how Greek cooking can be quick and healthy.

Sunday's program takes you on a culinary journey through Crete, Cyprus and Epiros, with demonstrations of regional cuisine by traditional home cooks. Participants include members of regional cultural associations, as well as the celebrated mums and from the kitchen at Philhellene.

You can also learn about different ways to create great dishes out of delicious Greek yogurt, and see cross-cultural creations such as a Greek pizza!

Cooking demonstrations will run from 2pm-7pm Saturday 25 February and 1pm-7pm Sunday 26 February.

We are very excited to be partnering with the Antipodes Festival this year and in particular to be launching the CHOmobile to Greek Yogurt lovers at the Glendi. The CHOmobile and the Chobani team will be providing show goers with the opportunity to try the deliciously thick and creamy taste of Chobani, produced by the authentic Greek straining process. Don't miss out on the chance to try a full pot of Chobani that has yogurt lovers falling back in love with the taste of authentic Greek Yogurt. The CHOmobile will be located next to the Chobani Greek Kitchen, on Lonsdale Street, so make your way there and discover why Chobani is Nothing But Good.
