| do Turkish and Greek cuisine have in common? And how do they | |
| differ? Is Baklava Greek or Turkish? And rolled grape leaves? | |
| Which country made the first olive oil? What about phyllo | |
| pastry? So many mouthwatering questions. One thing is sure, | |
| these two countries, situated side by side in the Mediterranean | |
| sea, have both been heavily influenced by their Mediterranean | |
| culture, which comes out in their culinary processes. They share | |
| a similar climate, the prosperous Mediterranean sun, and many of | |
| the same landscapes. While their histories differ, they both | |
| have a shared but unique heritage, which is beautifully and | |
| subtly reflected in their cuisine. | |
| cooking, let�s take a look at their history. One of the first | |
| residents of Greece, ( 2700 BC), the Minoans, domesticated | |
| grains, made the first wines from wild grapes and pressed the | |
| first olive oil, which soon became foundational to the Greek | |
| economy. | |

| that, the ancient Greeks arrived from the Ural mountain area, | |
| bringing with them cattle and bees for making honey. This people | |
| invented bread, developed the wine-making process, cultivated | |
| orchards of fruit and nut trees, ancient olive groves, figs, | |
| pistachios, and gathered greens. | |
| hand, by its mere location, was influenced by Asia and the | |
| Middle East, as well as Europe, and of course Greece. It is one | |
| of the few self-sustaining countries in the world, thanks to its | |
| size and diversity. Much of its culinary heritage can be traced | |
| back to the period of the Ottoman Empire, but it also comes from | |
| many of its neighbors: wine from Greece, sugar, rice and sweets | |
| from Persia, skewered meats (shis-kebabs) and flat breads show | |
| nomadic influence. | |
| served to bring variety, freshness, color, and refinement to | |
| Turkish cuisine, which has been exported throughout the | |
| world. | |
| countries, while others radically differ. Both the Greeks and | |
| Turks have a delicious chicken soup they make, both with a bit | |
| of lemon, but the Turks add a bit of yoghurt (a Turkish | |
| invention) to theirs and use only egg yolks, while the Greeks | |
| use whole eggs. The herbs, spices and vegetables are slightly | |
| different as well. | |
| tasty salads from a variety of raw fresh vegetables; the Greeks | |
| may add Feta cheese, while the Turks may spice it up with | |
| peppers. | |
| vine leaves. The Turks have a traditional recipe invented for | |
| the Ottoman sultan that uses cherries, dried currants, cinnamon, | |
| parsley, dill, and allspice along with long grain rice, lemon | |
| juice and olive oil. A typical Greek such preparation (called | |
| dolmades) would be made of risotto rice, fennel, mint, onions, | |
| lemon juice and olive oil. | |
| heralded treat of both nations. The Greeks refined the pastry, | |
| perhaps first developed by the Assyrians, into its famous thin | |
| leaf appearance (phyllo means leaf in Greek) and concocted the | |
| pastry with honey and walnuts. It was the Ottoman empire that | |
| added the pistachios and other spices like, cinnamon, cardamom, | |
| cloves. | |
| celebration of the blending of peoples, ideas, and flavors, all | |
| subtly woven together in a savory tapestry, a delight for the | |
| eyes. | |
