This is a journey through the foods, traditions, beliefs and wisdom of the Greek world. It explores the importance of bread, olive oil, wine and honey; the influence of philosophers and physicians; the writings of ancient food writers; the evolution of Greek cooking; and enduring traditions the continue to connect modern Greeks to with their ancient past.
