About this ebook
The popularity of Greek cuisine, particularly vegan cuisine, has to do with its history, geography and climate allowing the ability to cultivate different types of fruits, vegetables and grains. Although Greek cuisine had been affected by Roman, Byzantium, Turkish and other cultures, it has still preserved its uniqueness.
The other consistent ingredient of the Greek vegan cuisine is wheat. This is a national staple product, one that is found in many recipes, and it has been cultivated in Greece for thousands of years.
It's used in the preparation of different types of foods, such as bread, namely in the well known pita bread. Bulgur, made of cracked whole wheat, can be eaten separately or added into soups or salads.
The final typical grain food of Greek vegan cooking is rice.
This is used in pilafs and bakes, served with stews, or wrapped in grape leaves to make dolmades.

Introduction
I want to thank you and congratulate you on choosing the book, Healthy Vegan Greek Recipes
.
The mere fact that you are reading this book means you have made a decision that will change your lifestyle – a change that will make you healthier and happier. You must have read a hundred times that healthy eating habits have a positive effect, not only on your weight and health, but also your optimistic attitude to whatever is happening around. And this book is not an exception. It will guide you through the process of preparing healthy and tasty Greek vegan dishes with ingredients that are easy to find and cook. You will find a wide range of recipes, which can be adapted for a healthy breakfast and a hearty lunch, and some that will go well as a dinner or a light supper. We have included a large assortment of delicious desserts and snacks. The recipes provide a step-by-step description of how to cook healthy and, at the same time, tasty food, including soups and stews made of legumes, vegetables and greens.
The selection of Greek vegan cuisine recipes is initially conditioned with a large variety of vegetables and herbs, grains, wine, fish and other ingredients. As in every similar cuisine, olive oil is one of the key elements of Greek foods. It is simply an outstanding reflection of traditional Mediterranean cuisine containing a high level of nutrients and a low amount of animal fats. The popularity of Greek cuisine, particularly vegan cuisine, has to do with its history, geography and climate allowing the ability to cultivate different types of fruits, vegetables and grains. Although Greek cuisine had been affected by Roman, Byzantium, Turkish and other cultures, it has still preserved its uniqueness.
As mentioned, olive oil plays a main role in Greek vegan cuisine, it is present in many dishes. Vegetables also play an important role in the cuisine, the main vegetables include tomatoes, eggplant, green beans, green pepper, onions and okra. Greek cooking often calls for stuffing vegetables. The most famous dish is tomatesgemista, stuffed tomatoes with rice, onions, herbs and meat. Greece has a huge variety of appetizers and salads made from fresh vegetables and fruit. Anyone who has visited Greece at least once must have tried the famous Greek salad which is made from fresh ripe red tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, green peppers, olives, olive oil, feta cheese (if not vegan) and oregano. With so many kinds of vegetables Greece is a real paradise for people following the vegan diet.
Greece is also well known for its various herbs and spices, so it is not surprising that Greek meals are so tasty and flavorful. Herbs and spices can be used flaked or whole, fresh or dried, as leaves or stems, as seeds, and in other variations. The most popular among these are oregano, mint, garlic, onion, dill and bay laurel leaves.
Fruits are also an important staple in the Greek diet. Typically, a bowl of fresh fruit is served with almost every meal. You can eat either fresh or dried fruits, such as plums, apricots, apples, grapes, figs, dates, and cherries. Greek cooking also has the tradition of baking or roasting fruits in the oven. In this book you can find some wonderful recipes incorporating baked fruit.
