Culinary Art Therapy Part 2. Mediterranean Cuisine 2

Every culinary session is a journey—inward to yourself and outward to the world. Join us and discover your personal connection with food!

Food is more than just taste—it is connection, ritual, and celebration. On this special day, we will create a four-course Mediterranean menu and explore how cooking and sharing food bring us closer in new and meaningful ways. We will knead focaccia dough as a symbol of ritual creation, delve into the symbolism of olive oil and spices, and reflect on the dining table as a space for closeness and openness.

Instructor: Verjinia Petkova – Psychologist, Hypnotherapist, and Jungian Psychotherapist (under supervision).
Chef: Ivelina Ivanova

Together, we will prepare:

• Colorful Salad with Watermelon, Cucumbers, and Greens, with Sesame-Crusted Feta, Drizzled with Honey and Sprinkled with Dried Lime Powder and Pomegranate Seeds – A balance between freshness and sweetness.
• Focaccia with a Buttery Herb Crust – Kneading bread as a ritual process.
• Oven-Baked Marinated Fish with Herbs and Olive Oil – Olive oil as the "gold" of the Mediterranean.
• Peach Cheesecake with Honey and Lavender – The fragrant essence of the Mediterranean.
