Yiorgos Hatziparaskos

... is one of the last traditional Filo Masters in all of Greece. He makes super-fine pastry by hand in his traditional workshop. He has been doing this for over 60 years, ably assisted by his wife Katerina for the last 50. The Baklava and Kataifi is by far the best I have ever eaten. If you are ever in Rethymno, Crete, indulge yourself.
In a bit of discomfort today. Switched to the super strength pain killers.

    Masters like Yiorgos may be 'a thing of the past' I hope there are young people learning from him and his wife who will continue this fine art. Hope you are well!

    Helen - thankfully, his grand children are continuing the tradition.
