Ancient Foods & Recipes of the Ages: Ancient Greece

Ancient Foods & Recipes of the Ages: Ancient Greece

ByR.D. Dalen

Greek food has been known as the Food of the Gods for good reason! This book discusses early Greek foods and eating behavior and provides many authentic ancient Greek recipes. The early Greeks were quite advanced in matters of food production. For example, ancient Greeks used systems of irrigation and crop rotation to grow food along the coast where the soil was poor where they grew olives, grapes, and figs. In the plains, where the soil was richer, the ancient Greeks also grew wheat to make bread. Fish, seafood, and home-made wines were also very popular food items in ancient Greece. In some of the larger Greek city-states, meat could be purchased in cook shops. However, meat was rarely eaten, and was used mostly for religious sacrifices. Ancient Greek gilt, anyone?
