"Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are" The owner of those words, the french Brillant Savarin, known as founder of gastronomy, is still true to be used nowadays. There is only one subject on which everybody will agree, that the feeding way that is the most adapted to human being and that is the most healthy is the Mediterranean one. It has even been said that the world's most healthy people live in Crete. But still one of the world's most important philosophers did write the following sentence only for one place:

"God has created Tenedos so that people live long."

What has motivated Heredot that much to write a so engaged sentence is mostly this small island's nice weather and of course its healthy food. The basic ingredients of Bozcaada's Foods that may be listed are all also very important parts of Lodos Kitchen.

In Lodos' kitchen, which main ingredient is olive oil, farm product or products for which we have doubt that hormon boosting may have been applied are never used. We use fishes and sea products from Bozcaada, grape leaves from our yards, greens from Ismail Uncle's garden, vegetables and tomatoes from Aunt Fatmallikler, eggs from Kadriye at the market place, traditional pastas and spices, and stuffs from the market places of the region. We use olive oil produced in Geyikli area with the water pressure method, and olives from the same region.

The part of the work that belongs to us is to do our best to turn all these ingredients into delicious foods for you. We collect by ourselves, or buy and process all these products. We do our own fish conserves, grape leaves pickles, cook our own jams. We dry our fish by our own, and collect our fruits.
We try our best to welcome you as if we were hosting you in our own house.

This is why our kitchen is also your kitchen, we share with you whatever is good and healthy in the nature. You are welcome into our kitchen, to give advices, or even cook by yourself.

Please excuse us if we are wrong...
