Secrets and Recipes of the Greek Cuisine
Greek cuisine is based on fresh ingredients and is known for its simple yet flavorful dishes, and the emphasis on the Mediterranean diet. Many dishes feature olive oil, vegetables, herbs, and seafood, and incorporate regional ingredients such as feta cheese, yogurt, and honey.
Greek cuisine is steeped in history and tradition, with many dishes originating from ancient Greek times while also presenting Middle Eastern and Italian influences. The Greek philosophy of "filoxenia," (friendship for the newcomer/stranger/foreigner), is also reflected in the cuisine, with an emphasis on sharing food and creating a communal dining experience. That is why, Greek cuisine offers a unique blend of flavors, history, and culture.
