Yummy Greek Recipes for Your Family to Enjoy
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.
You'll experience some of the best traditional greek food on offer.
For the Love of Greek Cypriot Food & Wine
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.
The weather in Cyprus, is warm almost all year round. Which is great for producing the tastiest fruit, vegetables and herbs.
We always eat what's in season.
About Cyprus Cuisine
In ancient times Cypriots became well known for their fantastic cuisine.
Some ancient greek food items still used today in greek cypriot recipes are Cyprus Ham called Lountza, delicious grilled on a charcoal barbeque. Often it is served as one of many appetizers in a Cyprus Meze.
Cyprus cheese Halloumi is also famous the world over. It has a mild and creamy flavour. Also grilled on a bbq. Yummy!!
You will more than 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, or seega, seega as they say here, in a sealed traditional outside clay oven.
My all time favourite is Kleftiko - Lamb or Arni in greek,
Sealed in an oven dish and baked in a clay oven very slowly.
It’s out of this world!
Unfortunately we don't have a clay oven. So we cook in a normal oven during winter and on the bbq in the summer.
Try Cyprus lamb Kleftiko for yourself.
You won't be disappointed!
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 a quick and so easy greek chicken recipe, any time of year. During the warm summer months, which stretch from April to November, we cook nearly every meal on the barbeque. And we make this quick grilled chicken recipe many time.
Served with the world famous greek salad, made with fresh, local in season vegetables.
The mediterranean diet is the best in the world.
The traditional greek salad recipe is a very healthy recipe for all the family. Have a side dish of tzatziki to complete your meal, it's delicious!
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 are used.
All the recipes I’m sharing 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%!!
