Greek cuisine is a Mediterranean cuisine. Contemporary Greek cookery makes wide use of olive oil, lemon juice, vegetables, and herbs, grains and bread, wine, fish, and various meats, including lamb, poultry, rabbit and pork. The most commonly seen grain is wheat, however barley is also used.t was Archestratos in 320 B.C. who wrote the first cookbook in history. Greece has a culinary tradition of some 4,000 years. Ancient Greek cuisine was characterized by its frugality and was founded on the Mediterranean triad: wheat, olive oil, and wine, with meat being rarely eaten and fish being more common.
Like all cuisines, the ingredients used in Greek cookery tend to be sourced locally and, as well as being regionally based, often their availability is dependent on seasonality. Olive oil, the quintessential Greek seasoning, is universally popular and olives are harvested and eaten all over Greece.Lemons are squeezed over everything, particularly fried food such as prawns and cheese.Fresh or dried oregano is sprinkled on cheese dishes such as the famous Greek Salad with feta as well as fried potatoes.Dried Greek oregano, called rigani, is worth sourcing from Greek and European specialist food shops, as it adds a very authentic flavour.innamon is a very most popular spice and features in both savoury, such as moussaka and stifado, and sweet, such as sticky baklava, dishes. Thick Greek yoghurt made from cow's or sheepâs milk is used in dips and as an accompaniment to fruit-based desserts.
