At the Kastellorizian Association of Victoria clubrooms on 13th September, Evelyn Salvaris and myself (Connie Gregory) will demonstrate Katoumaria. We are intending for it to be heaps of fun. I learnt how to make it from my late mother-in-law Eftihia Gregory (nee Pallassis). It has excited a lot of interest, because everyone likes to eat this Kastellorizian dish but young people, and often their parents, don't know how to make it. Food is an excellent way to keep young people interested in their heritage. I have started asking questions about its origins and lots of interesting data is surfacing. Iwill be putting together a little pamphlet for the demo and will post it to this site in due course. In the meantime, if anybody has anything they would like to say about Katoumaria, please do post a message to this site.
AND if you are visiting Kastellorizo remember to ask where you can order Katoumaria, and Strava, because there are four resident ladies who make these dishes very well.
If you don't know what Katoumari is you are missing out on one of the great sweets of Kastellorizo. Cheers. Connie G
