For all of you who know a lot about Greek cuisine, how did you learn?
For me, I learned from a combination of my family, with recipes handed down, and from cookbooks to fill in the gaps.
My yiayia was straight from Greece and she taught me everything she knew. She didn't really teach me on purpose, I just cooked with her a lot.
When she passed, I realized that the recipes were all in my head, and if I neglected to learn something from her, the rest of the family somehow didn't know either. So I had to find some good cookbooks to help.
How about you guys?
