Thank you. - 3 - www.greekalicious.com.au ABOUT THE AUTHOR Maria Benardis Maria Benardis is a Gourmand Award winning Author, chef and Founder of Greekalicious (www.greekalicious.com.au) Maria has published a cook book titled “My Greek Family Table” (Penguin), which won the prestigious Gourmand World Cookbook Awards – Best Mediterranean Cuisine Book in Australia 2009. http://www.greekalicious.com.au/product/my-greek-family-cook-book Vibrant Greek Australian Maria Benardis, has long been passionate about her Greek heritage and culture, and in particular her native cuisine. From her early impressionable years growing up on the Greek island of Psara, her father’s home town, Maria paid close attention to the women of her family, and how they cooked. It was here she developed her passion for Greek cooking and learned the fundamentals of kitchen lore. Maria’s mother’s family is from Kalamata inspiration that continues to fuel Maria’s passion for Greek food - 4 - www.greekalicious.com.au Maria would watch and learn each day, as her grandmother made bread, cheese, yoghurt and meals for the family. The ingredients used to create these scrumptious dishes were always fresh and often home-grown, sparking Maria’s life-long love for organic, seasonal produce. In Australia Maria’s aunt Stavroula continued her traditional culinary education, and many of the dishes Maria creates today draw heavily from these early lessons. As Maria grew older she did as all good Greek girls are encouraged to do, forging a career in the very stable taxation accounting profession, where she excelled to become a well respected and highly sought-after taxation and financial specialist. With over twenty years in management for some of Australia’s best known blue- chips and industry bodies; and a seat at any Australia Taxation Office, Government or Industry Committee on tax legislation worth its salt, Maria has taken a change of tack. In February 2007 Maria launched Greekalicious: Sydney’s first exclusively Greek cooking school, turning her passion for Greek cooking into a successful business. A concept Maria formed while on the Greek Island of Mykonos where she had experienced her life changing calling and epiphany. Greekalicious is a culmination of the many years she has spent studying ancient Greek cuisine and travelling throughout Greece; alongside contemporary professional cookery experience. This successful business has expanded to include catering, products and culinary tours to Greece. Much more than a financial decision, Greekalicious is Maria’s first and foremost love; providing her an opportunity to share and educate Australians about her Greek heritage and culture. With a comprehensive calendar of traditional and modern Greekalicious cooking classes located in Sydney; Maria blends unique and entertaining story telling with lively music to bring to life the colourful food and histories of regional Greece. “When I cook I sense my family’s spirit and energy is with me and guiding me to produce dishes that capture cultural traditions, family secrets and something different,” says Maria. “So many people think that souvlaki and mousaka is all there is to Greek cooking, but I enjoy continually surprising family and friends with amazing Greek dishes that they never knew existed. - 5 - www.greekalicious.com.au I feel compelled to share my dishes and culture through Greekalicious, making authentic and Modern Greek cooking available to everyone,” she says. Maria is also a slow food advocate and was one of the delegates selected to represent Australia Slow Food at Terra Madre 2010 in Italy. Maria regularly appears on radio, television and the print media to share the Greek heritage that means so much to her.

Alongside are detailed notes on each recipe sharing stories, mythology and historical context of the dish or ingredient. Also featured are the healing benefits noted by Hippocrates and other Ancient Greek philosophers. The stories will connect you and take you on a journey of discovery and revelations - a Grecian Gastronomical Journey. Written with passion and photographed, “My Greekalicious Feast” is the first of a two part series and follows the release of Maria’s published book “My Greek Family Table” (Penguin) which won the GOURMAND world cookbook awards 2009 - Best Mediterranean cuisine book in Australia All dishes are cooked with Love and Harmony. Happy Greekalicious cooking! - 8 - www.greekalicious.com.au BAC KG RO U N D Introduction Gastronomy, an Ancient Greek word, signifies the relationship between the senses and food, and exemplifies the attitude of the Greeks to life and food. The ingredients and methods of the Greek kitchen established itself more than 3,000 years ago. These simple methods have characterised the original and unique flavours of the best Greek cookery. As an example, an enduring tradition is portable cooking being shared in a courtyard. History records many Greek cooks in ancient times, such as Thimbron the Athenian, Archestratus (who penned the first known cookery book), and Soteriades the Sage, who claimed he prepared different dishes for different moods and ages – the young, the lovers, the older men and the ancient philosophers. Famous cooks also found refuge in monasteries. Therefore, it is not at all unusual that we still find many Greek monasteries producing wines, cookery books and other produce. The cook in antiquity held low status, but the best chefs operated competitively and were often hired out to the homes of rich. Of all the Greek cooks, Archestratus was regarded by many as the father of gastronomy. He has heavily inspired Greekalicious. In antiquity, cookery books were very different to the ones written today. Archestratus’ cookery book resembles a traditional epic and interchanges between gastronomically orientated poetry, puns, jingles, and comical styles. Historically, people rarely read in private, so cookbooks were written in verse, as to be recited at a banquet or a symposium. Archestratus, however, took his recipes a step further and instructs on where one should buy the ingredients and from which region of Ancient Greece. His emphasis was always on simplicity, the harmonious use of ingredients, season in moderation, and an important emphasis on quality. He believed that foods of quality have “the height of pleasure within itself” and need only be seasoned with salt and olive oil and perhaps a bit of cumin. - 9 - www.greekalicious.com.au Food influenced the balance of the humours of the body and eating was a sensual experience. He promoted a light, elegant style of cooking and much interest in texture. Freshness and quality were of foremost importance, along with a holistic approach to mealtime. Aspects of a chef’s life verge on the comic, as complex and menial skills are combined in cooking. There is a sharp contrast between the heat in the kitchen and the calm of the banquet, just as there is an element of entertainment in the presentation of the food. Much of the food prepared on the Greek mainland in ancient times was relatively simple and minimally spiced. The ancient trademarks of sweet and sour, like vinegar and honey, garos (fish sauce) and honey, fish and raisins, were also of great importance in ancient Greek cuisine. To the Greeks, food has always had all sorts of religious and philosophical meaning. For example, Greeks never ate meat unless it had been sacrificed to a god. Even with vegetables, many Greeks believed that particular foods were cleaner and preferred by the gods. Greek dishes have been influencing other cultures for thousands of years. Many Greek recipes today are found under assumed Turkish names and the cuisines of both cultures are very closely associated.

  • Literary Quarrels
    Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics (1) The Cicala's Song: Plato in the Aetia Benjamin Acosta-Hughes University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Version 1.2 © Benjamin Acosta-Hughes, [email protected] (2) Literary Quarrels Susan Stephens Stanford University Version 1.0 © Susan Stephens Abstract: Scholars have long noted Platonic elements or allusions in Callimachus' poems, particularly in the Aetia prologue and the 13th Iambus that center on poetic composition. Following up on their work, Benjamin Acosta-Hughes and Susan Stephens, in a recent panel at the APA, and in papers that are about to appear in Callimachea II. Atti della seconda giornata di studi su Callimaco (Rome: Herder), have argued not for occasional allusions, but for a much more extensive influence from the Phaedo and Phaedrus in the Aetia prologue (Acosta-Hughes) and the Protagoras, Ion, and Phaedrus in the Iambi (Stephens). These papers are part of a preliminary study to reformulate Callimachus' aesthetic theory. 1 The Cicala's Song: Plato in the Aetia* This paper prefigures a larger study of Callimachus and Plato, a study on which my Stanford colleague Susan Stephens and I have now embarked in our co-authored volume on Callimachus.1 Awareness of Platonic allusion in Callimachus is not new, although its significance has not really been appreciateda close reading of the two authors remains a real desideratum, and it is indeed this need that we hope our work will one day fulfill. The main focal points of the present paper are two passages of Callimachus, and two passages of Plato, that, read together, configure a remarkable intertextual dialogue on poetry, reading, and the inspired voice.

  • Ancient Macedonians
    Ancient Macedonians This article is about the native inhabitants of the historical kingdom of Macedonia. For the modern ethnic Greek people from Macedonia, Greece, see Macedonians (Greeks). For other uses, see Ancient Macedonian (disambiguation) and Macedonian (disambiguation). From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ANCIENT MACEDONIANS ΜΑΚΕΔΌΝΕΣ Stag Hunt Mosaic, 4th century BC Languages. Ancient Macedonian, then Attic Greek, and later Koine Greek Religion. ancient Greek religion The Macedonians (Greek: Μακεδόνες, Makedónes) were an ancient tribe that lived on the alluvial plain around the rivers Haliacmonand lower Axios in the northeastern part of mainland Greece. Essentially an ancient Greek people,[1] they gradually expanded from their homeland along the Haliacmon valley on the northern edge of the Greek world, absorbing or driving out neighbouring non-Greek tribes, primarily Thracian and Illyrian.[2][3] They spoke Ancient Macedonian, a language closely related to Ancient Greek, perhaps a dialect, although the prestige language of the region was at first Attic and then Koine Greek.[4] Their religious beliefs mirrored those of other Greeks, following the main deities of the Greek pantheon, although the Macedonians continued Archaic burial practices that had ceased in other parts of Greece after the 6th century BC. Aside from the monarchy, the core of Macedonian society was its nobility. Similar to the aristocracy of neighboring Thessaly, their wealth was largely built on herding horses and cattle. Although composed of various clans, the kingdom of Macedonia, established around the 8th century BC, is mostly associated with the Argead dynasty and the tribe named after it. The dynasty was allegedly founded by Perdiccas I, descendant of the legendary Temenus of Argos, while the region of Macedon perhaps derived its name from Makedon, a figure of Greek mythology.
