The Mediterranean Diet
Refreshing your understanding. Translating it to the plate.

Why Crete

Field to Plate specializes in experiential education programs that allow you to immerse yourself in learning through a five senses experience. To develop a program around the Mediterranean experience required us to move beyond the research, culinary demonstrations and market tours to define an experience that you could become a part of, instead of being an observer.

Mediterranean is a way of life that transcends centuries, and to understand this, you have to live it. The isle of Crete, its gentle lifestyle and the generosity of its people, gives us this opportunity. Through the culinary and cultural expertise and guidance of Chef Nikki Rose, we have compiled the five sense experiences we were looking for.
