Inspired by Gerald Durrell's beloved autobiographical trilogy, My Family and Other Animals, Birds, Beasts and Relatives, and The Garden of the Gods, Dining with the Durrells is a delightful British television series that follows the Durrell family's sun-soaked adventures as they relocate from rainy England to the idyllic Greek island of Corfu.
The series, which premiered on ITV in 2016, has quickly amassed a loyal following thanks to its charming characters, stunning scenery, and mouthwatering cuisine. The show's food is not merely a backdrop; it is an integral part of the story, reflecting the Durrells' love of life, their appreciation for the local culture, and their resilience in the face of adversity.

A Taste of Corfu
Corfu, with its lush olive groves, fragrant citrus trees, and azure waters, provides the Durrells with an endless bounty of fresh, seasonal ingredients. The family quickly embraces the local cuisine, which is a delightful blend of Greek and Italian flavors, with an emphasis on fresh vegetables, olive oil, and seafood.
One of the Durrells' favorite dishes is pastitsada, a traditional Corfiot stew made with beef, pasta, and a rich tomato sauce. Other local delicacies that feature prominently in the series include moussaka, spanakopita, and baklava.
The Durrells also enjoy experimenting with new recipes, often using ingredients they forage from their garden. They make their own bread, cheese, and wine, and they are always on the lookout for new and exciting culinary adventures.
The Culinary Adventures of a Lifetime
In addition to providing a glimpse into the Durrells' culinary world, Dining with the Durrells also offers viewers a chance to experience the rich food culture of Corfu and the surrounding region. The show's creators have gone to great lengths to recreate authentic dishes and dining experiences, using local ingredients and traditional cooking methods.
One of the highlights of the series is the Durrells' picnic at Paleokastritsa, a stunning beach with crystal-clear waters and towering cliffs. The family spreads out a blanket and enjoys a feast of fresh fruit, bread, cheese, and wine, all while taking in the breathtaking views.
Another memorable dining experience occurs when the Durrells are invited to a traditional Greek wedding. The guests are treated to a lavish spread of food and drink, including whole roasted lamb, grilled octopus, and homemade baklava.
