Welcome to Mediterranean Roots, the official blog of Greek Flavours, born out of a desire to share the beating heart of Greek cuisine and culture with the world. Here we tell true stories of ancient flavors, authentic ingredients, and traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation. Whether you are a fan of Mediterranean cuisine or a Greek abroad looking for a home, this space is for you.
The Taste of Tradition
Every recipe we share carries a memory — a family table in a small inland village, or a Sunday lunch by the Aegean Sea. Mediterranean Roots is our way of preserving and passing on those ancient gestures: kneading fresh bread, infusing olive oil with herbs, preparing a slow-cooked, fragrant moussaka.
We’ll guide you through the iconic dishes of authentic Greece, using simple ingredients rich in heritage: cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, PDO feta made with sheep’s and goat’s milk, thyme honey harvested from the islands. Greek cuisine is not only delicious — it’s honest. It speaks of seasons, of land, and of love passed down through generations.
A Journey into the Mediterranean Lifestyle
On Mediterranean Roots, you’ll find more than just recipes — you’ll find real-life stories. We’ll introduce you to the small producers who still follow ancient methods, to families who have been growing olive trees for generations, and to expats who carry a piece of Greece wherever they go.
We’ll share insights into the Mediterranean diet, tips for mindful shopping, and ideas to help you bring healthy, flavorful meals to your table every day. It’s an invitation to slow down, to live in harmony with nature’s rhythms, and to appreciate the simple joys, like a bowl of Kalamata olives with a glass of wine, or the smell of warm bread fresh from the oven.
Mediterranean Roots is our way of staying connected to what truly matters: our roots, our flavors, and the beauty of things made with heart.
