Greece - Arcadia in the Peloponnesus
Donkeys graze beneath an ancient monastery clinging to cliffs above; hill towns cook as they did in the 18th century. In the Middle Ages, men escaped their Byzantine overlords by cooking in monasteries. To separate themselves from the priests with their tall black hats they wore tall white hats, still today the sign of a chef. Only 11 monks remain in those monasteries carved out of sheer rock cliffs, but they clandestinely schooled the young men who freed all of Greece.Release
