About Recipe

As I have mentioned to you before, Greece was under the Ottoman Empire for 400 years between 1453 and 1821 when the rebellion of Greeks has started, in order to be released from the Turkish chains. But even after the 1821 only one small part of Greece was liberated. It took another 126 years in 1947 until Greece has acquired the shape which we all know today. One hundred and twenty six years later, in 1947 and after constant wars, negotiations, diplomatic maneuvers and thousands of people lost in battlefields, Greece eventually became the country that it is today. Because of the close relation with Turkey and our geographic position, which is close to the Middle East, our kitchen has influences by all the neighboring countries of the Mediterranean.
