Ultimate Greek Cooking Retreat

Imagine switching off from the world for a few days. Transporting yourself to a place of rest, by the ocean and experiencing all that Greece has to offer…without the long flight. The retreat is a fusion of all Alice’s passions – incorporating cooking, eating, the great outdoors and fun with a great bunch of women! Always set in serene, beautiful locations, Alice carefully prepares her retreats to inspire and relax her guests and to leave you heading home feeling revived, rejuvenated and armed with a handful of amazing cooking experiences to recreate with your family.

If this sounds like bliss, we’d love to hear from you.

Our next retreat dates and locations are: Nov 26 – 29 at Cabarita Beach NSW

Food & Wine

Mediterranean food will form a part of the retreat. Enjoy eating delicious food cooked for you, practice learning new recipes yourself and pour yourself a glass of cool, crisp rose wine as you relax by the ocean. Feast with ‘Greek night’, trying specialities and enjoying the company of Alice and other participants.

Beachfront Location

It wouldn’t be an authentic Greek cooking retreat without the ocean. Lap up the sights and sounds of the rolling waves, while you imagine the aquamarine waters of the Greek Isles and the adventures to be had. Take a morning stroll on the beach or enjoy a small group yoga class as you tune into nature.

Treat Yourself

How often do we as women take the time for ourselves? To nurture our passions, to step away from our families for a few days and spend time with a group of like-minded women? To head out canoeing, bush walking, enjoying a paint and sip evening? Build your confidence preparing and cooking Greek food and celebrate the authentic Greek culture with Greek dancing for the ultimate Greek Experience.

Cookbooks:

When you ‘break bread’, you share a connection over delicious food. In Greece, family is always a focal point (alongside food!) and how you break bread with those you love is important to Greek culture. When Alice was writing her book, she couldn’t remember a time when someone came to the house, who wasn’t offered to stay for a meal, mezze or a beer. It’s a time old Greek tradition, encapsulated in the precious recipes contained in her book ‘Breaking Bread.’

Imagine being able to concoct delicious food every night to share with your family? To please even the fussiest of palettes and delight guests with your simple yet tasty food.

Take your pick from the many recipes in ‘Breaking Bread’ – from mains to salads to mastering the simple pitta bread, you’ll be spoilt for choice as you flick through Alice’s beautifully illustrated cookbook.
