Tastes of antiquity from Intercollege and Top Kinisis

The Cyprus Virtual Forum is an intercultural dialogue forum organised by the tourism organisation Top Kinisis Travel within the framework of the Trames project. The project is co-funded by the European Union programme Cosme.

As part of the Cyprus Virtual Forum events, we explore the cultural heritage that links the Mediterranean countries together and we cook, being inspired by the lifestyle and eating habits of the ancient Phoenicians.

The Phoenicians were notable traders and masters of the sea and in the first millennium BC, who became colonisers of the Mediterranean Sea establishing sites on the west coast of Sicily, Spain, Cyprus, Corsica and Sardinia.

Culinary Competition – Tastes of Antiquity is the title of the cooking competition, which is open to the public and is organised in collaboration with the Intercollege culinary arts programmes.

Select five ingredients that the ancient Phoenicians used in their diet, cook your own recipe and send it to us along with a photo by March 14.

All recipes received will be evaluated by a committee of distinguished chefs and the six best ones will compete on March 19 in search of the three winning recipes.
