On September 22, we will welcome “nomad chef” Andreas Lagos in a chef collaboration with Executive Chef, Konstantinos Vasileiou that’s designed to showcase the rich cuisine and local produce of the Dodecanese.
Part of our continuing priority to provide guests with an authentic taste of Greece, the event will celebrate local producers from Rhodes and the Dodecanese. And all this by the Aegean Sea in our newly opened Votsala Greek a-la-carte Taverna.
Masterminded by Master Chefs
Andreas grew up on the island of Samos, where his beloved hobby of growing his own vegetables amply illustrates the roots of his illustrious future. Nowadays, the star of Greek TV show, “Pop Cooking”, has his finger in many proverbial pies, advising restaurants, hotels and delicatessens and dreaming up ever more daring and delicious recipes for publications both online and in print.
From Samos, a brief hop across the Aegean takes us to Evia, the birthplace of our Executive Chef, Konstantinos Vasileiou. Like Andreas, his was another inspirational upbringing ensconced in the beautiful and bountiful nature of one of Greece’s largest islands. Until now he has enjoyed a prolific career decorated with multiple national and international awards and certifications, among which is his proudest achievement of a medal in the 2008 IKA/ Culinary Olympics, the oldest, largest and most diverse international culinary arts competition in the world.
