It is built around olive oil, lemon, oregano, vegetables, herbs, yogurt, grilled meat, beans, cheese, bread, and the tradition of sharing food around the table. We’ll also talk about interesting Greek food culture, including why traditional Greek salad usually has no lettuce, why fries often go inside a souvlaki or gyro wrap, why tzatziki makes almost everything better, and how Greek hospitality can mean being offered “just a little more” even when you are already full.
