Food is crucial to Greek culture, but as Ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus once stated, “[w]e should look for someone to eat and drink with before looking for something to eat and drink.” It isn’t only the food that makes Greek food culture what is is; the crucial element is the social act of sharing food.

The traditional Greek diet is based around vegetables and fruits, wholegrains, beans and legumes, fish, and some dairy like cheese and yoghurt. Because of the climate, Greece is rich with an array of fruits and vegetables, and many Greeks work in or adjacent to agriculture (or at least grow lots of food in their own gardens) – so utilising good quality raw ingredients is a no-brainer. Alongside the Greek propensity to cover everything in olive oil (a healthy fat), Greek and Mediterranean Diets are regarded as some of the healthiest in the world.
