Gastronomy

GNTO

Greek gastronomy has a recorded history of around 4,000 years. In fact, it was Archestratos who wrote the first cookbook in history (330 BC). In Greek gastronomic tradition the element of flavor blends harmonically with high nutritional value. Dozens of scientific studies have shown the positive effect of a balanced Greek diet on a person’s health, well-being, and longevity. In addition, the cultural dimension and social customs of a Greek meal have traditionally added an extraverted social element to the experience of savoring food and drink, combining gustative satisfaction with the recreational and communication aspect of communal meals, and thus maintaining even today overtones of ancient feasts.
