      CHAPTER I

      History and origin of Greek Cuisine

      The history of Greek cuisine dates back thousands of years and has deep roots in the ancient Greek civilization. Greek cuisine has been influenced by different cultures over the centuries, such as the Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, and other Mediterranean peoples. This cultural diversity has enriched and shaped Greek cuisine as we know it today.

      One of the highlights of Greek cuisine is its emphasis on fresh, high-quality ingredients. The Greeks have a strong connection to the land and the sea, and value local and seasonal products. Key ingredients in Greek cuisine include olive oil, herbs such as oregano and mint, olives, feta cheese, yogurt, fresh vegetables, fish, and shellfish.

      An interesting fact is that the Mediterranean diet, of which Greek cuisine is an important component, has been recognized as one of the healthiest in the world. Rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes, fish, olive oil, and yogurt, the Greek diet has been shown to help prevent cardiovascular disease, reduce the risk of diabetes, and promote an overall healthier life.

      Greek cuisine is also characterized by its regional diversity. Each region of Greece has its own culinary specialities, based on local products and culinary traditions passed down from generation to generation. For example, in northern Greece, dishes such as gyros and souvlaki are found, while on the island of Crete, the Cretan diet stands out with an emphasis on olive oil and vegetables.

      Greek cuisine has also left a mark on world history. Many Greek dishes and foods have been adopted and adapted by other cultures. For example, moussaka, an aubergine and minced meat pie, has been popularized in different countries and is considered an iconic dish of Greek cuisine.

      Greek gastronomy is truly outstanding and adjusted to the model culinary styles of the world. It is usually called a food lover's paradise. The main elements of Greek cuisine include olive oil, shrimp, flavors (thyme, rosemary, and oregano being the most notable), cheddar cheese, tomatoes, ham, sheep, pork, fish, and wine. Each of the ingredients used in Greek food can be easily found in any common store.

      Typical ingredients

      1. Olive Oil: Olive oil is a fundamental ingredient in Greek cuisine. It is used for cooking, dressing salads and flavoring many dishes.

      2. Feta Cheese: Feta cheese is one of the most iconic cheeses in Greece. It is a white and salty cheese that is used in salads, pie fillings and as an accompaniment to main dishes.

      3. Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt is creamy, thick, and has a distinctive flavor. It is eaten on its own, used as a base for sauces and dressings, and incorporated into desserts and cakes.

      4. Herbs and Spices: Fresh herbs and spices are essential in Greek cooking. Oregano, thyme, mint, parsley and dill (dill) are some of the most used to flavor and aroma dishes.

      5. Lemon: Lemon is widely used in Greek cuisine to add a touch of acidity and freshness to dishes. It is squeezed on salads, fish, meat and desserts.

      6. Olives: Olives are
