Greek Garden

GreekBq - Original Print       This is a bouquet of the herbs the Greek use most frequently in their cooking--Anise, Bay, Cinnamon, Garlic, Oregano, Parsley, Spearmint and Thyme--and are essential in defining their cuisine. Figs, Olive Oil, Feta Cheese, Artichokes, Almonds, Lemons, Kalamata Olives, Baklava, Lamb, Metaxa, Ouzo and Retsina can be found on most Greek tables, from the local Tavern tavernas to the Presidential Palace. Allspice, Celery, Chili Pepper, Coriander, Cloves, Cumin, Dill, Fennel, Marjoram, Mahlep, Mastic, Mustard, Nutmeg, Onion, Pepper, Rosemary, Sage, Scallions, Sesame and Vanilla would complete their herb gardens.

      In the 5th century BC the ancient Greeks built a civilization that gave birth to the democracy, philosophy, drama, art, history and sports that we know today. Their cuisine is steeped in 3,000 years of history. It is influenced by the land, by the three seas surrounding it, by the Greek Orthodox religion and by the various conquerors--Romans, Byzantines, Venetians and Ottoman Turks--who have occupied her shores. It did not emerge as an independent nation until 1830, and by that time the cuisine was thoroughly Middle Eastern. Another influence has been their widespread trading around the Mediterranean.

      The culinary traditions of all these cultures have influenced but never dominated the cuisine. It is no wonder that Greek food represents a crossroad of Eastern and Western. Its exotic dishes, often vivid with spices, make up a cuisine that has been evolving for thousands of years, perfected by generations of artful cooks with a steadfast adherence to the seasons, which makes it the oldest, perhaps purest Mediterranean cuisine.
