From one of the most ancient civilizations on earth comes simply prepared food that uses the best of what’s in season. Adding a little magic in the form of clever flavorings. Greece’s culinary tradition dates back hundreds of years and has evolved over time to absorb many diverse influences.
Greek food is simple, colorful, and incredibly nutritious. In addition, Greek food has a reputation for being heart-healthy. This is because it uses olive oil, fish, lean meats, vegetables, herbs, and grain. One example is the classic moussaka – a hearty dish made of layers of lamb and eggplant, smothered in béchamel sauce and cheese.
Here’s a little-known fact: Greek cuisine is very “plant-forward” by nature and many traditional dishes have been vegan for centuries. Indeed, the original Mediterranean diet studied in Crete was made up of these classic Greek meals that put the focus on fresh vegetables, legumes, and lots of olive oil.
OMG, if you consider yourself a foodie, you are going to be in heaven! Greek food will definitely excite and delight you.
