C8-1: A Taste of Greece

There are a plethora of reasons to travel to Greece from its azure waters and white sand beaches to its ancient monuments, but the best, and perhaps most important, is to try the nation's incredible food. Greek cuisine, like many other cuisines of the Mediterranean, is founded on the triad of wheat, olive oil and wine. It continues traditions from Ancient Greek and Byzantine cuisine, while incorporating Asian, Turkish, Balkan and Italian influences. With their strong use of vegetables, herbs and wholesome fats from olives and fish, Mediterranean and Greek foods are said to be some of the healthiest in the world, and they are also some of the most delicious!

Purpose: Learn about and taste some select Greek recipes
