Cyprus food is sooooo delicious, to say the least. If you haven’t been fortunate enough to visit Cyprus, it truly is worth the adventure just to experience some of the traditional greek food on offer.

The majority of tourists who choose to holiday in Cyprus love the food so much they keep coming back. Many dishes are prepared in the same way as ancient greek food recipes.

Since ancient times, Cyprus has been famous for Its hospitality. Cyprus island even had a God of Hospitality and protector of visitors, common greek phrase XENOS, meaning stranger or guest, and KOPIASTE meaning “join us for dinner”.

A very important historical aspect of Cypriot hospitality is it’s excellent food and wine, known well in King Solomon times.

Cyprus is blessed by a warm climate for over 300 days a year. It is also one of the healthiest in the world. It produces the best fruit, vegetables and herbs.

In ancient times Cypriots became well known for their fantastic cuisine. Some famous food items used in greek recipes are Cyprus Ham called Lountza, delicious grilled on a charcoal barbeque. Cyprus cheese Halloumi is also famous the world over. Mild creamy flavour, usually grilled on charcoal. Yummy!!

You can most likely find it in your local supermarket.

Cypriot cuisine has become a major business for the island of Aphrodite. Greek food recipes have travelled the world and are prepared in many major cities across the world.

I love to prepare some of the famous Cypriot dishes which are cooked slowly, slowly, seega, seega in sealed tradition outside clay oven.

My all time favourite is Kleftiko- Lamb Arniin greek, It is sealed in an oven dish and baked in a clay oven very slowly. It’s out of this world! I’ll include this greek lamb recipe for you to try. I cook such dishes without using a clay oven, which unfortunately we don’t have.

Another favourite of mine is a quick greek chicken dish, which we cook, or I should say (I prepare) and my husband cooks on the bbq… I’m fascinated why men love to be in control of the bbq.

We make this greek chicken meal many times during the warm summer months, which stretch from April to November. The period for cooking outside on the bbq.

This is a very healthy recipe for all the family. Served with the world famous greek salad, made with fresh, in season and local lettuce, tomatoes, white cabbage, fresh flat leaf parsley, coriander, local black and green olives, white onion slices, topped off with feta cheese. No wonder the mediterranean diet is the best in the world.

Many authentic greek recipes are prepared mainly by using charcoal bbq, clay oven… if you’re lucky enough to have one, in winter, cooking moves inside the house, where the usual gas hob and oven.

All the recipes I’m going to share with you are authentic recipes, maybe with a little personal twist here and there. But hey… how many of us stick to a recipe 100%!!

I really hope you enjoy all the greek recipes I will be sharing with you. Stand by your bbq!!
