Today is the common knowledge that gastronimy is closely associated with the history and culture of each country and its people. Furthermore, it is a material aspect of life interwined with enjoyment and health. Traditional Greek cuisine displays great interest, for it is one of the few in the world characterized by a millennia-long history, impressive lastingness, and a logic that pays heed to tastiness and healthy culinary practice. It is apt, therefore, to become one of the country's most powerful ambassadors abroad especially now that the rest of Europe, and the American continent, are in the process of discovering the advantages of Mediterranean cookery.
