Flavors from all over Greece 🌿
Traditional Greek cuisine is one of the world’s most diverse and colorful cuisines. It has been influenced by many cultures, including the Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Balkan, French, and Spanish. The Greeks were known for their wines, olive oil, fruits, and vegetables.
Greek food is very different from what we know today. It is a mixture of ancient and modern recipes that makes it very interesting for all ages. There are many types of meat in Greek dishes, such as lamb, chicken, or beef, but fish like octopus or squid is cooked differently depending on the seasonings used for cooking them. If you love having Grecian dishes, or if you want to try your hand at making their delicious recipes, you need to see this!
