Deep Dive into Greek Cuisine
Greek cuisine mirrors the country’s long history and position as a crossroads of different cultures. It’s characterised by its use of fresh vegetables, lean meats, seafood, grains, and a liberal use of olive oil—an ingredient at the heart of the Mediterranean diet.
Health Benefits of Greek Cuisine
Recognised worldwide for its health benefits, the Mediterranean diet, of which Greek food is central, is associated with longevity and a reduced risk of many chronic diseases. Meals are typically balanced, featuring a variety of nutrients from whole grains, legumes, lean proteins, and healthy fats, predominantly from olive oil.
Signature Greek Dishes
Our catering menu features a wide array of beloved Greek dishes that are sure to delight any palate:
- Meze: Small plates such as spanakopita (spinach pie), dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), and tzatziki (yoghurt and cucumber dip).
- Grilled Meats: Skewered meats like lamb souvlaki and chicken gyros, seasoned with traditional spices and served straight from the grill.
- Desserts: Sweet treats, including baklava (layers of filo pastry, nuts, and honey) and galaktoboureko (a custard pie wrapped in golden, crispy filo).
