I used to live in Greek neighborhood for long time and I really liked it. They’re nice and friendly people.
They have delicious cuisine and they use just organic and fresh ingredients.
Recently, I went to Greek restaurant “Stamatis”. I forget to ask what the meaning of that name but I wish if we Greek Local Guides who can translate it.
The main ingredient are feta cheese , olive oil, kalamata olives.
They’re very good in fish dishes. Fried, grilled or cooked.
I like their appetizers like okra, cauliflower or artichoke.
I am glad that you enjoy Greek food @SunshineNY . Which is your favorite dish? Have you ever been to Greece? I have to say that we don’t use that much celery, if not at all in our kitchen.
Stamatis comes from the verb stamato, which means stop. It means a calm person.
@VasT , my favorite dish!! I love all of them and I don’t remember their name, like the one with eggplant “moussaka”, the fish, they know how they cook it and fry it. Greek salad is my favorite also. I tried lamb with sauteed lemon potatoes. A delice!
No, I haven’t been in Greece yet but I may go one day! It’s in my plan.
You might not recall the names of the food, but you can remember the flavors @SunshineNY , and that’s important! I hope you will get the chance to visit Greece one day. From what I hear, flavors can be very different.
I love sweets as well, can’t wait to see more of your photos @SunshineNY and you can take a look at my Eat like a local in Thessaloniki post, there you can find some treats ;).
@SunshineNY Good morning from Greece !! and specifically from Maroussi Athens !! I’m so glad you like Greek cuisine !!! Indeed it is a very friendly and creative kitchen with Mediterranean healthy products !!! Greek cuisine is a term that describes traditional Greek cuisine. Modern Greek cooking has a wide use of olive oil, cereals, wine, meat, vegetables and fish-seafood.
This dish is shrimp with vegetables I cooked it for my friends !! I work professionally in cooking I love to create new recipes.
