It is hard to discuss what’s new when it comes to Greek food. Greek cuisine has a culinary history dating back 4,000 years or more, and today the Mediterranean diet is one of the most cited for the health conscious. Though modern Greek meals incorporate more meat than earlier days in which grains, olive oil, fish and wine were staples, you’ll savor the succulent flavors of wood fire cooking of chicken, lamb and beef. You’ll also find fresh salads, pastries and dishes that include olives, olive oil, spinach, cheese and other ingredients.
