About Greek Food

In Greek culture, food is so much more than sustenance; it's everything; culture, comfort, family, life.' If you grow up Greece, you grow up with your mother chasing you around the house with a spoon!' jokes Greek/Australian chef Peter Conistis.

From one of the ancient civilisations on earth comes simply prepared food that uses the best of what's in season and adds a little magic to help it sing off the plate. From some of the best lamb dishes on earth to fresh seafood, vegetables, beans, pulses and of course good olive oil, Greek food is simple, colourful and incredibly nutritious.

When Greeks taste something delicious, they have a lovely phrase 'Yia Sta Heria Stas' which translates as 'I kiss your hands', celebrating the skill of the cook.
