We were with Pipitsa yesterday and she told us one of her stories. Some time ago she was with some friends & family in Ioannina and they went for a meal. In true Pipitsa style, she took charge and ordered for everybody, a typical Greek table full of tasty morcels - "we will have salad & meatballs & saganaki - are you writing this down my dear?" "No madame, I don't need to". "OK, we also want bread & sausages & lamb chops - are you sure you will remember?" "I will remember Madame." "Fine, we will also have mushrooms & cheese pies & stuffed vine leaves - my dear, you will never remember all of this" "It will be fine madame". The lady disappeared into the kitchen and returned with plate after plate of food, in fact everything that Pipitsa had ordered. At the end of the meal Pipitsa complimented her on her excellent memory and asked how she could possibly recall everything that had been ordered. "It was easy madame, I simply went into the kitchen and shouted - two plates of everything on the menu!"

;D
I am so laughing at that! Exactly how Pipitsa is, she wants her friends to enjoy everything that Roda and Corfu has to offer. When you see all this food coming out of the kitchen though... scary!
Thanks for that Julie xxx

I think that Pipitsa's oven is a false oven concealing a 'dumb waiter' that is connected to a 100 sq metre, state-of-the-art kitchen in the basement and managed by Gordon Ramsay. How she brings so much food out of such a small area is quite amazing. If ever you are invited to eat - take heed!! ;D

ah but the thing is....... its so fresh and tastey, I over ate ... everything Pipitsa serves up is so yummie!
But then, when I am in Corfu my stomach doesn't play up as much, I think its the food being of such high standards, lol I always eat so much when I'm there and I also always loose weight! (another great reason to move there!)
