Greece and its Cuisine

Greece, (Ελλάδα [eˈlaða] or Ελλάς [eˈlas] in Greek) offilicially Ελληνική Δημοκρατία [eliniˈkʲi ðimokraˈtia], the Hellenic Republic is a Parliamentary Republic on the south-eastern borders of Southern Europe. The country's official language is Greek, one of Europe's oldest languages. The capital is Athens. Greece itself lies at the juncture of Europe, Asia, and Africa. It is heir to the heritages of classical Greece, the Byzantine Empire, and nearly four centuries of Ottoman rule and is generally regarded as the cradle of western civilization and the birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy, the Olympic Games, western literature, political science, major scientific principles and drama.

Greece is a developed country and is a member of the European Union and the Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union. It is also a member of NATO, the OECD, the WEU (Western European Union) and the ESA (European Space Agaency). The Greek constitution recognizes the Greek Orthodox churchas the 'prevailing' religion in the country, whilst guaranteeing freedom of religious belief.

Greek cuisine traces its roots back to antiquity and forms the foundation of Roman cookery. The cuisine tends to be rich in sefood, olives, olive oil and local cheeses.


The alphabetical list of recipes from Greece follows (limited to 100 recipes per page). There are 162 recipes in total:
