Greek cuisine — , Heraklion table
Before Greek cuisine reaches the table, the method to trust is : “Heraklion table,” measured by 34. Season it before it is served. A star rating is not a measure. Relative chili/pepper heat across the 32-cuisine atlas.
Olive oil, lemon and a meze clock: feta, grilled lamb and the eastern Mediterranean table. Greek cuisine (Ελληνική κουζίνα) grew from feta / yogurt / wine and bread / pita. Horiatiki is the postcard, not the whole map. Greek cuisine sits at spice 34 in this atlas. Horiatiki and Souvlaki show the range better than a single heat number.
Horiatiki plus one regional plate — not only the export icon. Athens, Thessaloniki and Heraklion do not cook the same dinner. Regional stubbornness is the cuisine, not a footnote. The home pantry around Meze and the labour behind Souvlaki rarely fit a takeaway box. Are restaurant versions "authentic"?
Restaurant Greek cuisine is one register. Home pots and market stalls are others. Authenticity is a marketing word; technique is not. Ελληνική κουζίνα is the local name used in this atlas beside Greek cuisine. Greek cuisine is organised around feta / yogurt / wine and bread / pita. Horiatiki and Souvlaki are the plates most diners meet first.
Greek cuisine needs , “Heraklion table,” and 34. Without them the plate is an advertisement.34
