Panagiotis Drossos is the CEO of HEPO, the Hellenic Foreign Trade Ministry, and when we had met at Salon Gourmet, the International Trade Fair, held yearly in the Madrid Capital, I had the wonderful opportunity of interviewing him, and writing about the amazing Greek Luncheon we had at El Corte Ingles Department Store Restaurant. Here is one of the stunning appetisers we had, created by one of GreeceĀ“s most talented and internationally acclaimed culinary artists, who prepared the magnificant lunch for a group of HEPO members and the Press.
