Renowned chef, Maria Loi, of the critically acclaimed restaurant, Loi Estiatorio, in Manhattan, and public media leader GBH announce the second season of the award-winning, 13-part National Public Television series, The Life of Loi: Mediterranean Secrets, premiering on April 27, 2024.
Known as the ‘Julia Child of Greece,’ Loi delights in sharing thousands of years of knowledge baked into Mediterranean cuisine as she takes viewers across Greece serving up the secret to making some of the regions’ most classic dishes. “These also happen to be the very same dishes I grew up eating and making as a child in our small village of Thermo, adds Loi. “My grandfather (a modern day Hippocrates) always reminded me about the benefits of every ingredient.”
From the island of Naxos in the Aegean Sea, to the unspoiled region of Costa Navarino in the Peloponnese, Loi gives an insider’s tour of her home country as only she can. Viewers then join Loi in her NYC restaurant where she cooks with her “fabulous foodie friends” and demonstrates a unique spin on tasty dishes inspired by her travels.
“We are thrilled to partner with the incomparable Chef Maria Loi,” says GBH Executive Producer Laurie Donnelly. “Maria is one of a kind. Not only is she out to change the world one healthy bite at a time, The Life of Loi provides the inspiration we all need to adopt the Mediterranean way of life, and eating. Not only is the Mediterranean diet considered the healthiest in the world, the word’s now out that it’s one of the secrets to longevity.”
Chef Maria Loi is back, continuing to share Tasty, Healthy, Easy recipes from the Mediterranean, the secret to Longevity. . .
“In ancient Greek, Dieta (diet) means a way of living - that’s why I want to share my knowledge and passion for the Mediterranean way of life with the world,” says Loi. “I also want to demonstrate to everyone how easy it is to make Greek-Mediterranean cuisine the foundation of your daily diet. A key ingredient in this cuisine is, of course, olive oil - it’s the cornerstone of this diet, and has been since ancient Greek times - it’s also a delicious part of my daily routine.”
“As we launch the second season of our National Public Television series, The Life of Loi: Mediterranean Secrets, I am thrilled to be partnering with GBH, the premiere producers of educational and lifestyle content, who share my belief that you are wealthy when you are healthy.”
