When one thinks of Greece, what often comes to mind is the ancient civilization that flourished there thousands of years ago. Ruins of this ancient culture still stand as reminders of Greece’s glorious past. In modern times, Greece is an interesting combination of old and new. Even contemporary Greek cooking reflects ancient times, with dishes such as dolmades, or stuffed grape leaves, dating back thousands of years.
Greece’s climate and geography have always been major influences on its cuisine. The juicy lemons, tangy olives, fresh herbs, and vegetables that grow in Greece’s warm sunshine are some of the country’s best-loved foods.
The art of cooking was appreciated thousands of years ago in ancient Greece. In fact, the worlds first cookbook is said to have been written in 350 B.c. by the philosopher Archestratus. At that time, cooks were very highly regarded. They were not thought of as household help but as artists, and they were eagerly sought by employers.
