I grew up learning Greek cooking from my family, but we’ve been living outside Greece for two generations now. While my grandmother always emphasized traditional recipes—the ones she learned growing up in her village—I’ve noticed how much Greek cuisine has evolved, especially when I see modern twists on classic dishes.
I’m curious about your thoughts: How do you balance keeping the traditions alive while embracing modern Greek cooking? Do you prefer sticking to the old-school methods and ingredients, or are you open to experimenting with new techniques and flavors?
For example, I’ve seen spanakopita with unexpected fillings or lighter versions of moussaka. Part of me wants to explore these, but I also feel like I’m stepping away from my roots. Your insights are appreciated!
