Greek cuisine is considered one of the most popular cuisines of the Mediterranean. It includes a wide variety of delicious meat, fish and seafood dishes, salads and appetisers created using ingredients from the Greek soil, seasoned with flavourings and spices from the East. The Greeks are considered gourmands, hence food has always had a prominent place in their everyday life, while on festive occasions the array of dishes arouses the senses with the blending of flavours, aromas and colours. The secrets of the Greek cuisine are passed down from one generation to the next, as the cuisine itself evolves and becomes even better with additional flavours, new recipes and ingredients.
