Love Greek food?

As we continue our culinary tour around the world, it’s time to stop at one of everyone’s favorite places: Greece.

While what we consider to be Greek foods has changed over the years, Greek cuisine usually centers around wheat, olive oil, and wine and uses vegetables, olive oil, grains, fish, and meat, including pork, poultry, veal and beef, lamb, rabbit, and goat.

Some of these recipes may not be authentic Greek cuisine but foods that we associate with Greece and the Mediterranean. I think you are going to love every one of these Greek recipes!
