  • Byzantine Gastronomy
    Byzantine Gastronomy Byzantine cuisine synthesized dishes from ancient Greece and the Roman Empire with new ingredients and many innovations. The Empress Theodora ( ca. A.D. 500 – 548) invited cooks from different parts of mainland Greece and the islands to cook for her. As the capital of a powerful and rich empire, Constantinople, a bustling city of as many as 1,000,000 inhabitants at its height during the Macedonian dynasty of the late 9th-early 11th centuries, was the center of the domestic and foreign trade of Byzantium. Grain, wine, salt, meat, cheese, vegetables and fruits flowed from the provinces into its markets. The capital was also the centre of luxury trade: exotic spices and lavish foods (such as black caviar) were popular imports for the wealthy land owners, the officials of the State and Church and the rich members of the new middle class, the “mesoi”, who could afford them. Beans were a common source of protein for the peasants, the poor and the monks during fasting. The variety of vegetables, fruits and condiments-black pepper, honey, olive oil, vinegar, salt, mushrooms, celery, leeks, lettuce, chicory, spinach, turnips, eggplant, cabbage, white beets, almonds, pomegranates, nuts, apples, lentils, raisins etc. which were listed as food of the poor by Ptohoprodromos (Poems-1150), mirrors both the interest in good eating and the availability of healthy ingredients regardless of economic class. Tomato and potato were not part of the Byzantine diet, as they were introduced to the area many years later. Bread played a very important role in the Byzantine diet, so much so that the guild of bakers of Constantinople and their animals were never used by the state in order that bread baking could not be interrupted (Book of the Eparch, 911-912).

  • Greek Traditional Cuisine Some Information for Greek Cuisine
    GREEK TRADITIONAL CUISINE SOME INFORMATION FOR GREEK CUISINE Greek cuisine is a Mediterranean cuisine, sharing numerous characteristics with Middle Eastern cuisines of the region. Contemporary Greek cookery makes wide use of olive oil, vegetables and herbs, grains and bread, wine, fish, and various meats, including lamb, poultry, rabbit and pork. Greek cuisine has a long tradition and its flavors change with the season and its geography. Greek cookery, historically a forerunner of Western cuisine, spread its culinary influence - via ancient Rome - throughout Europe and beyond .It has influences from the different people's cuisine the Greeks have interacted with over the centuries, as evidenced by several types of sweets and cooked foods. It was Archestratos in 320 B.C. who wrote the first cookbook in history. Greece has a culinary tradition of some 4,000 years. Ancient Greek cuisine was characterized by its frugality and was founded on the "Mediterranean triad": wheat, olive oil, and wine, with meat being rarely eaten and fish being more common .This trend in Greek diet continued in Roman and Ottoman times and changed only fairly recently when technological progress has made meat more available. Wine and olive oil have always been a central part of it and the spread of grapes and olive trees in the Mediterranean and further afield is correlated with Greek colonization. The Greek cuisine is comprised of: •Kritiki (Cretan cuisine) •Ipirotiki (Epirotic cuisine) •Cuisine of the Ionian islands •Cuisine of the Aegean islands Wine The origins of wine-making in Greece go back 6,500 years and evidence suggesting wine production confirm that Greece is home to the oldest known grape wine remnants discovered in the world and the world’s earliest evidence of crushed grapes.

  • QUINCE Planting Instructions
    Ison’s Nursery & Vineyard Planting Instructions QUINCE Planting Instructions Quince is believed to predate the apple. Many references to fruit in ancient texts, such as the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, were probably referring to the quince. Greek mythology associates the quince with Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and many believe that the golden apple given to her by Paris was a quince. What Is Quince? The modern-day quince is shaped like a hybrid of an apple and pear, and similar in size. The average quince weighs about 4 ounces, has a rich yellow exterior, and gives off a strong, pleasant fragrance. It's hard, acidic, and astringent before cooking, but it turns red, takes on a whole different flavor, and tastes divine when cooked. Aluminum cookware will deliver the deepest red color in cooked quince. Quinces grow on trees and are ripe and ready for eating in late autumn. To eat it, you must always remove the fruit's peel and core before cooking. Then it can be roasted, stewed, pureed, poached, baked, made into jelly, or grilled. The quince is the sole member of the genus Cydonia in the family Rosaceae (which also contains apples and pears, among other fruits). It is a tree fruit that bears a deciduous pome fruit, similar in appearance to a pear, and is bright golden-yellow when mature. Quinces are used to make marmalade and jam, spoon sweets, and jellies. The fruit has a lot of pectin, a naturally occurring starch. Quinces also make great additions to apple pies, and they're delicious when cooked with meats.
