I've been to Greece this summer. We were lucky to find a tiny village with a restaurant in the village square. The lady who ran the place didn't even have a menu. She would cook something every morning and let you choose from her dishes what you wanted to eat. Everything that she prepared was made with ingredients from her garden and was simple and delicious. Fun fact: she was 70 but looked no older than 50👏😍 I shall remember that lunch for a long time!
In greece, menus are only really a thing when you go to the americanized places or the super upscale places. In my village in southern Albania, we know the owners of the 2 restaurants there and they will let you know what they're making for lunch&dinner ahead of time. It's just a different culture, as a result of the homogenous culture. Everybody eats the same things
Red onion olive oil and tomato paste
Sounds absolutely wonderful. :)
that would be such a neat experience 😭💛
Greece 🇬🇷 is so beautiful; I visited May 2023, we took a boat cruise to this little bitty island (Aegina in the Aagian sea); it’s also called Pistachio island b’coz they grow lots of Pistachios there !!! I have so many food memories from our 10 day trip there ; the food is so fresh!!! Can’t wait to go bk 😍😍!!! The small villages are definitely worth venturing into💯💯!!!
Yes,yes yes.
I'm greek and this soup(fasolada) is a staple in our diet.🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Alberta Canada, I was told that it needed to be cold pressed as heat pressed makes it carcinogenic. I just use cold pressed extra virgin olive oil in my food and on my body as moisturizing. I am 68 years old and have beautiful skin. I do not use any makeup. I also do not take any medication and I am very healthy. I just came upon your tube. Thanks
I too am from AB,eat healthy, and mostly clean, but too much and still have CVD.
This is a good channel to come across for sure
Great tips. I love the Mediterranean diet, I have eaten like this for a long time, and it helps a lot with slow and healthy aging. I am in my sixties and don't take a ton of medications like most people in my age group. I am also the right weight for my height .
Congratulations on all of your success!
I feel that mediterranean meals are not only healthy but delicious and affordable
Aussie with a Greek background here. We do eat a lettuce salad. It’s delicious. It’s called a marouli salad usually eaten in winter only. Finely chopped cos lettuce, spring onions, dill, olive oil, lemon juice. It’s delicious.
Thank you! Sounds delicious.
I am starting out on weight loss and doing the Mediterranean diet and I am so so so thankful I stumbled upon your videos I’m learning so so so so much!!!!
Just curious how’s your weight loss going? My doctor recommended the Mediterranean diet and I too have stumbled onto this video. As I’ve wrestled with weight my entire life I find myself wondering if this will be any different.
@@daydreamadventures4841 the food looks delicious. I'd say eat it anyway because its healthier for you and the weight loss will surely come if its needed
One of the best channel that makes a perfect content. I started the mediterenian food 2 days before and definitely try this for the rest of life. Thank you so much for the information.

This looks amazing.
Hello from the UK, enjoying your video, many thanks.
Ooh this looks delicious! The salad reminds me a lot of a Shopska salad, my all-time favourite. Harder to find, but Macedonian feta is so creamy and beautiful in salads.
These dishes made my weekend! I think I finally figured out how to use olive oil - you need a lot of it! Thank you!
Absolutely agree about feeling full for a long time after eating the good high fat foods.❤️ New here- Love this channel!

Great channel and inspiring.. I’m starting my Mediterranean journey today, I’m from the uk and we are going to Cyprus next April so looking forward to the healthy Greek food. Thanks 🙏🏻
Good luck on your Mediterranean journey! It is fun and delicious!
I’ve learned how healthy extra virgin olive oil is. And how to tell if it is good ( peppery burn in throat). Also about sour dough bread being healthy to eat. I’m from Duluth MN via The Bronx, NY. Been a fan of yours since Princeton !
Thanks Shelley!
Looks really good I am going to start cooking Mediterranean ❤
I learned a lot!
Looks like a delicious recipe! Yum! Definitely going to try it out. The amount of veggies he discards while chopping though makes me stressed. Haha 😂
Thank you for recipe. Love your program. I learned I can get good olive oil at Cosco!
You're Welcome!
awesome video thanks from Australia
Howdy from Texas!! I’ll be making this tonight.
Arkansas here. loving all your information

Thank you!
Hello what is the email and how do I get cookbooks
Stockholm, Sweden here! This is great!
Thank you! Love Sweden!
I am just learning about the Mediterranean diet. One of the things I learned from you today is that you can actually cook with olive oil. I’ve always heard that you’re not supposed to heat olive oil so that will be a big help as I go forward with the Mediterranean diet. Thank you very much
You are welcome!
love how you present all of this cooking!! Seems very expensive using all of this olive oil! but yum!
It isn't that expensive if you are purchasing wisely and eating recipes that are budget friendly.
buy greek olive oil its cheaper and better quality
Im from Alabama and I am just starting this way of eating .
Thank you for your videos
Welcome!
How’s the eating change going ?
@@halymam3485 This is a wonderful way of eating. Absolutely love it.
Amazing
I love your olive oil.
I don’t have a gallbladder, so I can’t eat the amount of olive oil you suggest. I love the recipes
This is what I’ve been looking for ❤️ thank you!!
You're so welcome!
I love this video
Thank you!
What a good channel. 😊
Thank you for clearing up about how hot the pot should be when cooking with Olive Oil. I often wonder about the temp when cooking with olive oil.
You are so welcome!
I LOVE MEDITERRANEAN FOOD.ITS HEALTHY AND ITS GOOD!
How do I find when you have the live podcast? I just found your channel and I spent the last four hours watching videos and looking at recipes! I’m starting to move over to a Mediterranean diet and I just found this an awesome channel! So far I saved 26 recipes I’m going to cook! Since I’m cooking for one I’m really glad that you’ve have some simple dishes which I prefer. Thank you!
Nothing like a good Greek dinner ❤🇬🇷
Bellisimo e buonissimo

Glad you are enjoying them!

Thanks Rita from Ecuador.
You are so welcome!
I’m vegetarian and love the Mediterranean diet. I’m from Scotland and the Scottish diet is very different from the Mediterranean one.
Going to check out your cookbook.
The Scottish diet is quite different! Enjoy the book! The vegetarian selections are included in the front.
Scottish diet: Neeps & tatties, shortbread, deep fried Mars Bars, haggis, porridge, broth, Iron Bru, steamed bagpipes, Tunnock's teacakes, boiled nettles, whiskey, water fleas and cockaleekie soup.
Nice show
Wow, you look really healthy. This Crete diet must work!
nice cooking bro!
Thank you!
I'm joining that Mediterranean program.
Thanks 🙏 🙏 from Worcester, MA.
You are welcome!
This way of eating is wonderful, very little processed foods. Fresh is the best way to freeze your leftovers.
I love eating Mediterranean food. I love the olive oil better then butter. Vegetables are my main course. I work nights and it fast and easy to get ready.
Hi Mary, Vegetables as the main course is my favorite way to eat as well. Last night we had sweet potatoes with yogurt and broccoli. That's it. Thanks for the comment.
Delicious
Thank you 😋
This was so good! Can’t wait to make it. Question, does butter play a part In Mediterranean diet? I was watching a chef from Turkey using it … so happy to see the good bread❤ It is demonized much of the time.
I'm from the south of France , on the Mediterranean coast so ever since I was weaned I only ate this diet . So no , butter is used raw on bread for breakfast , but we never use it to cook in a pan . sometimes we'll add a tiny tiny piece of raw butter in our plate but it is rare .Virgin olive oil extracted cold is the way to go .I'm almost 76 no medication whatsoever , healthy weight . My mother
passed away at 96 slim lady till the end .But we do not ever eat snacks between the 3 meals . And don't forget to walk a lot .😊
Where can we get the recipes now? Thank you for this! I’ve learned a lot
Hi Kristine, The recipes links are now in the description.
Watching from QLD Australia
Hello from Georgia!
This sounds really good white bean soup what kind of white bean do you need
Please post a traditional sourdough bread recipe from crete.
I’m Australian and we have a similar problem as the US with regards to adulterated olive oil (honey too it turns out). I buy Australian grown and 1st cold pressed olive oil that I am very confident isn’t adulterated. I wonder if that isn’t as good as a Mediterranean type though? Our climate can be very similar to the Mediterranean (depending on the exact region)…
I also cook almost exclusively with olive oil I just don’t like the smell and taste of any other oil. They all have a chemical smell to me. I’m glad that I haven’t been wrong to do that.
I suffer from chronic illness and am now looking to turn to this diet. I am excited (and nervous) to get started and am glad to have found your channel.
This is a great question. My guess is that the olive oil in Australia, as long as it is very good quality, is as good as olive oil in the Mediterranean.
@@Mediterraneanliving thank you so much for replying :)
I actually just tried 1/2 teaspoon neat and it tasted fruity then a few seconds later there was a mild peppery taste and burn to the throat. So I take that as a good sign!
Any Aussies also watching, the oil I have is Red Island extra virgin olive oil. I buy it from Woolworths and typically aim to buy two bottles when on sale to save money as it is more expensive that most other olive oils. If anyone else knows of another good one, please share :)
@@Pandorash8 I knew about the honey issues but I didn't realise olive oil was dodgy aswell! 😔
Good to hear that Kirkland brand for costco is an acceptable “good” olive oil
Missed it live but sounds delicious!
It made a great dinner! Recipes are in the chat or on our site at www.mediterraneanliving.com
Hai I am watching from The Netherlands. Thank you for sharing your tip on the quality of Olive oil. I did not know that there are oliveoils that are not such good quality and therefor not so healthy!
Yes, it is important to know how fresh it is and best if you know the source personally.
I want to try this soup.
He lost me at 1 cup of olive oil.
It is a big shift for most people to add lots of olive oil. All studies are showing that this is not only incredibly healthy for you, but it also helps with weight loss and inflammation. Give it a try!
I just ordered 3 Best Sellers of the Mediterranean Recipe Books due to Cardiac Stents for Hypertension and High Blood Pressure.
Extra virgin olive oil HAS antioxidants and its anti-inflammatory in it!! Awesome is what i learned today!! Ty
Hello from Greece
I learned a good way to cook the soup , Mediterranean and I love it. I didn’t know that all that oil is actually healthy . Is it also good for people with high cholesterol

I have NEVER liked Olive Oil in my life before tasting EVOO from Lebanon and that brand name is MAALOUF 👌👍 wonderful. I actually brought it from Milk Street.
The only problem is it only comes in 16 Oz and I would ❤ to buy the big 3 ltr tin.
If I made this without the orange would it significantly change anything? I personally just really can't stand orange flavor, but everything else about this soup looks amazing
Anitta from Brazil. Thank you 💕
You are welcome!
Cucumber skin - I'll probably leave on when I make this salad. I like the texture of skin on cucumber.
I learned that more GOOD extra virgin olive oil is better than less!!😊❤
Oh, I just found you and see you haven’t posted for a year, hope is all well. I stumbled across you here on UA-cam. I’m a vegetarian and going to use your tips more in the future. It’ll be difficult with my husband the carnivore tho.
What brands of olive oil do you recommend for a family on a budget? I'm currently using Sicilian evoo from aldi
