      INTRODUCTION

      Overview Of Greek Cuisine

      The Greeks love good food, enjoyed in good company. They have a philosophy of eating and sharing meals with family and friends around the table, where the subject of discussion is mostly centered around how great and how savory the meal is.

      Thousands of years of absorbing culinary influences from other cultures, such as the Romans, Turks, Balkans, Slavs, Venetians,  and even the English has culminated into what is known as Greek Cuisine today. Greek cuisine is simply a remarkable fusion of the East and West. Some dishes are from the Hellenistic and Roman periods. Lentil soup is as old as ancient Greece. Feta cheese is Byzantium. Lots of Greek dishes such as moussaka and tzatziki are part of the larger tradition of Ottoman cuisine. Greek cuisine is a trip back through Greece's rich history of the emergence and exit of different cultures. It offers an exceptionally rich array of foods that are the culmination of thousands of years of cooking, eating and living. Greek cuisine is the perfect example of traditional Mediterranean eating.

      The secret of tasty Greek cooking is its simplicity and frugality. The cuisine utilizes fresh ingredients, but in limited quantity. Spices are sparingly used, so as not to overpower the flavor of a meal or end up altering the meal taste. Meals are cooked to ensure that the taste absorbs the flavor of the main ingredients. For instance, a fish dish should taste of fish! Nevertheless, herbs and spices such as oregano, garlic, mint, onion, bay laurel leaves and dill are incorporated in each dish.

      Wheat, olive oil and wine constitute the triad of the Greek diet. Greek food relies heavily on olive oil, wine, fish, and lamb. The terrain makes it easy to raise goats and sheep. While beef dishes are rare, fish is commonly eaten. Olives, Feta cheeses and yoghurt are popular ingredients in many dishes. Greek Olive oil is used in everything! Commonly drizzled over cooked food, it is common place to order a meal in Greece and see it drizzling with oil. For seasoning; oregano, salt and pepper are preferred for flavoring food or for marinating.

      The Greek just know how to marinate meat. They marinate to enhance a particular flavor without detracting from it. Lamb cutlets (Paidakia) is marinated with just salt, pepper and oregano and then grilled the charcoal way. Lemons and garlic are generously used in sauces and dressings to flavor veggies, meat, and fish.

      Greeks are lovers of wine, which they consume regularly with food but in moderation. They also enjoy ouzo, an aniseed-flavored alcoholic drink.  For non- alcoholic beverage, they prefer strong black coffee, served in small cups.

      Greek food is simple and classy; it’s tasteful, nutritious and healthy. Some of the favorite cooking methods used are grilling, baking, frying, roasting and stewing. Many ingredients used in cooking Greek foods are readily available in the markets.

      Basic Ingredients of Greek Cooking

      Greece’s perfect Mediterranean climate makes it suitable for basic ingredients to flourish. They include olives and olive oil, which are as common as water; as well as legumes and seasonal vegetables, the mainstay of traditional Greek cooking. Traditionally, Greeks must eat beans at least once in a week. Lentil, fava bean, chick pea, vetch, or split pea, are some of these legumes that are incorporated in baked casseroles, soups and stews and form part of Greece cooking.

      Feta is the national cheese of Greece. By law, it can only be produced in certain Greece regions: Macedonia, Thrace, Epirus, Mainland Greece, Lesvos and the Peloponnese. Feta is used in Greek salad and pairs well with other vegetables like eggplants, tomatoes and peppers. It may be mild or sharp, creamy or hard according to preferred texture and flavor. Other preferred cheeses used for cooking include Kefatyri, Kasseri, Mizithra and Manouri.

      Fish and seafood is greatly loved in Greeks, given the country’s Mediterranean terrain. Fresh fruits and vegetables are very essential in Greek cuisine. The warm Greek climate makes it easy to grow them. Colorful and flavorful veggies such as archichokes, spinach,horta (wild greens), zucchini, eggplant and tomatoes form an essential part of Greek cooking.Fresh fruits, such as apricots, grapes, cherries, watermelons, melons and peaches with their rich flavor and aroma are also utilized.

      Greece produces the best honey in the world. Its rich flora enables bees to feed on different types of wild flowering plants. This is why Greek honey is distinguished by what bees graze on and by the season. Additionally, Greece is the world’s third largest producer of olive oil.  It is the main fat used in cooking and used as for garnishing and saucing. It is used in baking and commonly drizzled over raw dishes. 

      Kalamata is the world’s most famous olive. It is stored in olive oil or vinegar. Other dark olives are used as well. They make excellent snacks and are great addition to a lot of food.
