The Island Cooking of Crete

Crete is Greece's largest island. It was here that researchers first documented the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet. In this brief look at their way of cooking you will be struck by the widespread use of leafy greens and other vegetables.

    Small coastal towns in Crete are fantastic for food and culture. It is so easy to fall into the lifestyle. As an Englishman who is used to 3 meals a day (usually all with meat), I, without noticing, mostly lived off fresh bread, yoghurt,thyme honey and fruit and veg. The quality of the bread, fruit and veg is the best I have had. I would score this Island very highly for the quality of produce coupled with the simple recipes.

    @@jackh4720 In Greece, we aren't divided in subcategories. We're all one, we're all Greeks. You're a Greek from Crete. I'm a Greek from Thessaloniki etc. Just trying to inform you about our situation, since you were born in New York and I assume you don't have extensive knowledge of Greece. In short, the term "Greek" always goes first, even before religion, in case you're Christian. There's nothing holier and more glorious than the single fact of being a Greek. No religion, no particular birthplace can surpass it. Be proud wherever you are at the moment. "Greekness" is a gift by Zeus himself to his loyal people.

We all support you and we know you will shine again like you always have done!

    There are many things that are similar and many things that are different between Greek and Italian kitchens; the one thing that I believe is exactly the same is that everyone's Yaya/Nonna/Grandma is the undisputed BOSS of the food... Have you ever seen 12 grandmas fight amongst themselves in a home kitchen? It's not going to happen. (Don't get me wrong, they get along and cook nicely together at church, but their private home kitchens and their family recipes are a different story)... It's totally possible that Grandma might not talk to Auntie for 3 weeks because they got into a battle about how to properly load the dishwasher; can you imagine the chaos of more than one "Chef-Grandma" per kitchen? Heads would roll and the family would dissolve!

    My favorite cheese of all time, mizithra, originated on Crete. It is basically a special vairant of feta/goat cheee that's much softer and saltier too, as well as better tasting in my opinion. And it tastes so good when you melt it. However, if you ever get hold of it and try to melt it, and it just burns like regular feta, just melt it with a "double boiler," meaning put it in a bowl over steam, but remember to add a bit of milk to it, or it won't become a cheese sauce but probably just burn a bit like before. Melted mizithra tastes amazing when poured over meat skewers :D

    You should always eat regional, seasonal, fresh and organic food - no matter where you live. Little meat, a lot of vegetables, fruit, spices and any produce of nature. Cooking yourself is key as processed food includes too many chemicals, sugar, salt and/or glutamate. Decent amount of physical work, an inner philosophy of enjoying life and not taking oneself too serious completes the picture.

    Maria Kocheila gemista*. gemista means stuffed/filled, in greek (plural) . its basically vegetables stuffed with rice, the flesh of the vegies and herbs (parsley and mint) and backed in the oven. usually tomatoes, green bellpeppers and aubergines are used but u can find also stuffed zucchini,zucchini flowers,and rarely vine leaves,big onions or mushrooms but in the houses most times its tomatoes, green bell peppers and aubergines. oh, and dont even think eating gemista without a lot of good feta cheese.its a perfect marriage gemista with feta.

    diasspeed Crown Pembroke The best greek summer food. Feta is a must with it. Also, some people like to add an ammount of minced meat in their Gemista. Also, pro tips: Add a pinch of graviera cheese or even italian parmesan for a fusion twist in the stuffing. Thank me later. And, cover the top of each of the Gemista with grounded rusk, before the oven.

    Η μαλακα είναι φρέσκο τυρί και πολύ μαλακό που χρησιμοποιείται μόνο για μαγειρική. Δηλαδή δεν το τρώνε ως τυρί ή επιδόρπιο όπως τρώνε άλλα τυριά , π.χ. Τον ανθότυρο ή την τοπική κεφαλογραβιέρα που τρώγεται με μέλι ή σκέτο. Η μαλακα ζυμώνεται εύκολα με άλλα υλικά και γεμίζουν με αυτό διάφορες πίτες.
