The Cuisine of Longevity

About this course

The workshop introduces the principles of the Ikarian Kitchen of Longevity before moving into hands-on cooking. Participants explore how controlling heat, combining or separating ingredients, and balancing dishes across meals and seasons shape the preparation of food. Teaching combines discussion with guided cooking, followed by a shared meal. The course presents these culinary principles as part of a broader approach to food and everyday habits, without separating cooking technique from the way ingredients are treated throughout the process.
