Frequently asked questions
What defines Greek cuisine?
Olive oil, fresh herbs, yoghurt, and feta cheese. It leans on vegetables, pulses, and grilled meat — light Mediterranean food full of lemon and oregano.
What goes into real tzatziki?
Thick white yoghurt, grated cucumber, garlic, and olive oil. Squeeze the cucumber well before stirring it in so the tzatziki doesn't go watery — then it's perfect with gyros, grilled meat, or just pita bread.
What is moussaka made of?
Layers of aubergine, potato, and minced meat in tomato, topped with béchamel and baked golden. A hearty baked dish you cut like lasagne.
What's the difference between gyros and kebab?
The idea is the same — meat slowly roasted on a vertical spit. Gyros is Greek, usually pork seasoned with oregano and lemon; döner kebab is Turkish, typically veal or chicken with a different spice mix.
Does a real Greek salad have lettuce in it?
It doesn't. A true horiatiki is just tomatoes, cucumber, pepper, red onion, olives, and a slab of feta, dressed with olive oil and oregano — no lettuce leaves, no creamy dressing.
