Food is a fundamental building block of the Greek lifestyle, and Greek cooking has always been synonymous with generosity, hospitality and shared feasts. With origins that date all the way back to the Ottoman Empire, the vibrant Greek cuisine has always been peppered with the rich influences of its Arabic, Persian and Turkish roots. According to history, ancient Greek cuisine was characterised by its frugality and was founded on a Mediterranean triad of wheat, olive oil, and wine (always a good thing). Hence, olive oil and vegetables reign supreme in Greek-Mediterranean diets, explaining why where you find one, you’ll usually find the other too.
