If you’ve ever wondered what real Greek food is like beyond souvlaki and feta, this episode is for you! I’m joined by Elefteria, a Greek holistic medicine instructor with a deep love for cooking, passed down from her grandmother.
She takes us into the mountainous north of Greece, where foraging for wild greens and making delicate, paper-thin pies is a way of life. We talk about the region’s food traditions, from handmade spanakopita to the role of olive oil in daily meals—did you know many Greek families produce their own?
We also dive into the changing food culture in Greece, how modern convenience is shifting traditional eating habits, and why you’ll mostly find older generations shopping at the farmer’s market.
Plus, Elefteria shares her personal ritual of foraging capers and a little-known wild ingredient that’s part of an authentic Greek salad. Whether you're a foodie, a traveler, or just someone who dreams of dipping rustic Greek bread into fresh olive oil, you won’t want to miss this conversation!
