Greek cooking is very fresh and aromatic, and many people don't realize that a big part of this is because Greeks use fresh herbs in Greek cuisine. Fresh herbs such as oregano, thyme, rosemary, sage, parsley and dill always add layers to a dish that you can never achieve with dried spices. If you're cooking a Greek dish, I highly suggest you add many different herbs and avoid using the dried variety. Best of luck in your cooking!

In my household we use a ton of oregano and spearmint, and smaller amounts of basil, thyme, sage, and parsley. No one uses dill - we don't really enjoy the flavor. We use warmer spices too, like cinnamon and allspice.

I've recently embarked on a culinary quest to explore the rich and diverse world of Greek cheeses. From the tangy feta found in traditional Greek salads to the sizzling delights of halloumi, Greece's cheese culture seems incredibly vast and flavorful.
