Welcome to Greek cuisine and culture

A journey through the wonderful world of Greek cooking & culture

Welcome everyone to Greek cuisine and culture. I’m George Polatidis, a professional chef for over 35 years, living and working in Athens, Greece. Having decided it’s time in my career to share my life’s work, I am starting this service as a first step in that direction.

I write about all types of Greek cuisine, from small meze plates that fill our tables at gatherings, vegan recipes, traditional spit roasting lamb at Easter time, pita breads, classic Greek pies, traditional dips, desserts, and some foods I am sure you’ve never heard of. I’ll also be sharing unique cultural events and habits of the Greek people, most of which have their roots deep in our ancient history, and are still practiced today. Furthermore, I hope to bring a truly informative and fun experience to my subscribers, and help bring us all closer together through a greater understanding of other cultures.

I hope you can join me on this journey, as it will give great pleasure in sharing a large part of my work with people that are as passionate about cooking and good food as I am.
