The cuisine of the Mediterranean, rich with olive oil, herbs, cheese and fish, represents a cooking culture spanning 4,000 years. Today the cities are bustling metropolises, but the ingredients of the countryside and sea that helped mold this European style remain influential on dishes served in the heart of Greece as well as those of replicators abroad.
