Greece, is the only country in Europe to give its civil servants paid leave of absence in November, so that they may return to their villages to help harvest the olives. a perfect example of how much the produce of the land and traditional eating habits still affect modern life.
Greek cooking is simple and healthy While there are time-consuming dishes such moussaka and pastitsio, there are very few complicated sauces and preparations in Greek cooking. The Greek flavor palette (garlic-oregano-lemon juice trinity, tomato sauces perfumed with cinnamon and allspice, Greek honey in various sweet and savory dishes, orange and fennel combined, and more) often lends antioxidants, minerals and other nutritional elements to every meal. In the traditional Greek Diet, essentially a traditional Mediterranean Diet, vegetables and legumes appear in countless main course dishes.
