Anyone who is of Kastellorizian background, or knows someone who is, would know that food is more than just a form of sustenance for these people.
In recognition of the connection that food has to the life and identity of the Kastellorizian people, Anna Koutsis and Helene Pappas have embarked on a project by the name of Kerasma.
The duo are calling on anyone who has memories of life on the island, namely those born and bred there, so as to help them develop a body of work that captures what life was like in the ‘hey-day’ of Kastellorizo.
The result of Kerasma will be a book that aims to be far more than a collection of recipes.
Rather, the creators endeavour to explore the cuisine of the island and its deep-seated relationship with memories, identity and relationships.
