Chef Maria Loi takes us to Tinos, the secret soul of Greece. Just a short boat ride from Mykonos, this island has a cuisine all its own. Maria meets with chefs Antonia Zarpa and Vassilis Plakias to prepare Chickpeas with Local Aromatics and a hearty Artichoke Pie. Back in New York, Maria embraces the flavors of Tinos and creates dishes inspired by her travels.
