Joining us in the guest chef kitchen this week is Greek-American, Katerina Liakos.

She’s been turning heads in NYC with her eponymous pop-up, ‘Katerina’. A nod to name days, the project owes as much to formative stretches at New York favourites, King and Wildair, as it does to family holidays to island tavernas and her grandma’s generous home cooking.

Like her almae maters, Katerina has a knack for pairing the unexpected and invariably landing on the delicious. She runs us through her ‘Chicken Liver Salantourmasi, Stuffed Roscoff Onions, Fig Leaf, Pistachio, Isot Chilli Crisp, Smoked Yoghurt’, inspired by a recent island-hopping trip.

Confident, irreverant and above all *fun*, this is food that implores you to pull up a chair and uncork the retsina.

Katerina’s goal is to feed you, and to feed you well. Get some. Hit the link in our bio to join us.

Flavour-maxxing the traditional Greek recipes of her childhood, Katerina Liakos has been turning heads in NYC with her eponymous Greek-American pop-up, ‘Katerina’.

A nod to name days, the project owes as much to formative stretches at New York favourites, King and Wildair, as her grandma’s generous home cooking. And that’s where it gets interesting.

Like her almae maters, Katerina has a knack for pairing the unexpected and invariably landing on the delicious. Think ‘Grilled Halloumi, Dates, Chicory, Carob Rusks, Sumac, Dijon Vinaigrette’; ‘Tuna Crudo, Ouzo Pickled Beetroot, Tomato Water, Kritamo’; and ‘Chicken Liver Salantourmasi, Stuffed Roscoff Onions, Fig Leaf, Pistachios, Isot Chilli Crisp’.

A graduate of the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Pollenzo, Katerina certainly knows her alliums, but she wears her education lightly. Confident, irreverant and above all *fun*, this is food that implores you to pull up a chair and uncork the retsina.

Katerina’s goal is to feed you, and to feed you well. Get some.

‘The Aegean is its people… those who are gone.. those who are still here.. their struggles, their desires, their hopes.’
Patmos, Greece.
Summer 2026.
Blood, sweat and tears.
Laughter, dancing and endless focaccia.
Adult summer camp. Stick them in a never before tested setup, fending for themselves, expanding in ways sometimes unnecessary, shifting through the tides of moods and hangovers, having no time for depth or empathy. Work must be done.
Reminds me of the book ‘holes’ by Louis Sachar, and hopefully milder.
One wished they could have been sun-slapped, sea salt sprayed, siesta fulfilled rather than entitled attitudes and witnessing human behavior at its purest.
What a weird testing ground and privilege it was to have worked in an environment where the only support and motivation came from strangers that turned into love.
ευχαριστώ, merci, teşekkürler🤍

We’ll cook dolmades and gemista with a local yiayia, taste our way through Greek wines from @wineisfine.athens, spend an afternoon boating to our favourite swim spots with a Greek feast onboard, hike the island’s old trails and settle in for long lunches and dinners by the water. Our talented guest chef Katerina Liakos will be cooking for us and leading workshops, with plenty of time in between for morning swims, afternoons by the harbour and sunset aperitivo.

KASTELLORIZO FOOD AND WINE RETREAT 🐢🩵 
Eating well is not only one of life’s greatest pleasures, it’s also the best way into a culture. From 30th September — 5th October, we’re taking over @casamediterraneo_kastellorizo on Kastellorizo where we’ll spend five days doing what we love best: cooking, eating, drinking wine, and getting to know the tiny Dodecanese island through the people who call it home. 
For this edition of Ways of Feasting: Kastellorizo, we’ll cook with our guest chef Katerina Liakos and a local Yiayia, learn how to prepare the day’s catch with a fisherman, cross the water to explore the farmers’ market in Kaş and eat lunch at a farm-to-table restaurant tucked into the mountains, hike the island’s trails and spend an afternoon swimming off a traditional wooden boat with a Greek feast (and plenty of pét nat) on board. There’ll be long lunches, dinners on the terrace and at our favourite taverna, wine tastings, daily aperitivo and zero decision-making required. Everything is taken care of, all you need to do is show up hungry. 
Hosted by @nomsdujour at @casamediterraneo_kastellorizo 30th September — 5th October 
All the booking details are in our bio, or feel free to DM us with any questions. 🇬🇷

A first taste of our Ways of Feasting: Kastellorizo food and wine retreat this 30th Sept — 5th October 🫒🍷

Hosted by @nomsdujour at @casamediterraneo_kastellorizo, Ways of Feasting is five nights of immersion and indulgence: learning to make Kastellorizian classics with local cooks, long lunches around beautiful tables, Greek feasts aboard captain Giorgos’ boat, family-style dinners overlooking the harbour, sunset aperitivos and wine tastings spotlighting the best low-intervention winemakers, hikes through oregano-scented hills and a trip to Kaş to explore the market with our friend @guzincirak, who has been coming here since she was a little girl, followed by lunch at her farm-to-table restaurant, @dogalanneelikas. There will be plenty of time for napping, reading, swimming, promenading and turtle-spotting in between.

After a summer spent working with @wineisfine.athens at @sunset.patmos, Greek-American chef @katliakos will join us in the kitchen to cook up generous feasts inspired by her father’s northern Greek heritage.

More information and booking details at the link in our bio, or DM us for questions. Details about our Ways of Feasting: Sifnos retreat (9th October — 14th October) coming soon.

We can’t wait to host you 💙🇬🇷

A heartfelt week on Patmos for our breakfast pop-up with @sunset.patmos . It's sweet when everything falls into place, going through the hotel in search of table linnen, sourcing flowers, finding difficult ingredients during hot afternoon, going over plating of dishes, gyros lunch breaks, lolling & plucking a lot of herbs together in the kitchen, cooling off in the sea and do it all over again. Big thanks to our dear friends and the welcoming team at Sunset. It was so nice being part of you all for the week! 💛🩵
