Last century Arillas was an agricultural village and the people’s life there, were depended by production of olive oil, wine and fishery also. The Arilla΄s beach was full of vineyards of Corfiot’s old grape varieties. Gradually the vineyards and tamarisk trees were replaced by small family, tourist businesses. So in 1992’s summer Catherine and George opened a family restaurant , an οuzeri which called EFTICHIA, from the name of their unique daughter.
Today Eftichia and Zisis continues the family΄s tradition and they remain faithful to their grandmother’s now (Catherine) principals, hoping that their restaurant will be, worthy of it’s heritage and expectations of the friends and visitors..
For about twenty years, it’s chef, Mrs. Catherine, followed and faithfully served Corfiot cuisine in all its forms. With the simplicity of the execution of the ‘Venetian’ recipes, as she transformed them from her godmother, she managed to highlight the spicy nobility of the traditional Corfian dishes. The pastitsada, the sofrito, the bianko and the bourdeto were honored by her hands. She created her dishes with fun, love and toil, essential ingredients of a successful cook.
At the same time, she was managed with her perpetual energy, characteristic of all Corfiot women of her generation, to cultivate her garden.
She was produced her greens, lettuce, beans, zucchini and artichokes. She was highlighted, by this way, the rich taste depth of Corfiot dishes.
And, perhaps without knowing it at the time, she was one of the most honest representatives of modern top culinary demand, that is, the local gastronomy’s highlighting of as an essential element of identity in global fragmented multiculturalism.
Now we honor the recipes, which she showed us with love, and we hope you enjoy them too!
