200 recipes borrowed from Greek cuisine, perhaps the quintessence and best example of the now-famous Mediterranean diet. Traditional dishes, based on the healthiest products of the Hellenic terroir, create and offer an ideal way of eating to ensure both good health and longevity.

Fresh or dried vegetables, wild herbs, fish, local meats, pure dairy products, and fruits dominate the Greek table, in stable and unchanged combinations for centuries. An essential ingredient of these tasty dishes, the exceptional Greek olive oil plays a leading role in these recipes and contributes decisively to their success.

From the coldest and most mountainous regions to the small taverns by the Aegean Sea, purple wine, fiery brandy, and fragrant ouzo accompany Greek appetizers, strengthening the bonds around the table and creating an inimitable atmosphere of conviviality.

Whether the meal is festive or everyday, it always ends with a crispy pastry, freshly made and redolent of the family cooking of our childhood years.
