GreekFoodTv☼ Greek coffee, ελληνικός καφές, Diane Kochilas – Athens, Greece

Greek Food TV☼ facebook.com – dianekochilas.com Well-known Greek food expert and award-winning author DIANE KOCHILAS makes us a Greek Coffee. The first evidence of brewed coffee as a beverage comes from 15th-century Yemen.[1] The word ‘coffee’ in most languages is derived directly or indirectly from the Arabic word قَهوه qahwah. By the late 15th and early 16th century, coffee had spread to Cairo and Mecca.[2][3] The Ottoman chronicler İbrahim Peçevi reports the opening of the first coffeehouse in Istanbul: Until the year 962 (1554-55), in the High, God-Guarded city of Constantinople, as well as in Ottoman lands generally, coffee and coffeehouses did not exist. About that year, a fellow called Hâkem (Hakam) from Aleppo and a wag called Şems (Shams) from Damascus, came to the city: they each opened a large shop in the district called Tahtakale, and began to purvey coffee.[4] In Greece, Turkish coffee was formerly referred to simply as τούρκικος ‘Turkish’. But after the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, the name soon changed to ‘ελληνικός’ ‘Greek’: “…Greco-Turkish relations at all levels became strained, τούρκικος καφές [Turkish coffee] became ελληνικός καφές [Greek coffee] by substitution of one Greek word for another while leaving the Turkish loan-word, for which there is no Greek equivalent, unchanged.”[5] The recipe remained unchanged. – Greek Food Tv Turkish coffee is normally prepared using a narrow-topped small boiling pot called an kanaka, cezve, džezva, xhezve

Kitoula’s Greek Food Journal: Potato salad

“Kitoula” Ekaterini Deliyanis makes the BEST potato salad just like her Yiayia’s. See how she does it.

Roasted Eggplant Salad, melitzanosalata in Greek, is one of the classic meze plates. It’s healthy, delicious, and easy to make. All you need is great Greek olive oil, eggplants (aubergines), salt, and a pinch of sugar. You can add any herbs you want to that basic recipe, or embellish it with feta cheese, capers, tomatoes, even walnuts. Diane Kochilas and Greekfoodtv show you how to prepare it at home. 3 large plump eggplants/aubergines, washed and dried 2/3cup/180 ml extra-virgin Greek olive oil Salt to taste Pinch of sugar 1. Place the eggplants on a low open flame, such as a gas burner or grill, and roast, turning with kitchen tongs, until the skin is charred on all sides and the very top of the eggplant, near the stem—which is the densest part of the flesh—is soft and spongy. Remove with tongs and transfer to a bowl, until cool enough to handle. 2. Transfer the eggplants to a cutting board and, using a sharp paring or chef’s knife, cut the eggplants open lengthwise down the center. Cut around the contours of each eggplant and peel back its skin. With a spoon, remove the pulp, discarding as many of the seeds as possible without wasting too much pulp. 3. Pour the olive oil into a metal mixing bowl and transfer the eggplant pulp to the bowl. Stir and mash simultaneously with a fork, until the eggplant has absorbed the olive oil and is chunky but soft. Season with salt and a pinch of sugar. From this basic recipe, you can add almost anything. A Greek islands’ variation

Welcome to what I hope will be an enticing journey through Greece, one that inevitably ends around a table. Actually, what I am presenting here is a glimpse behind the scenes of my upcoming book, The Country Cooking of Greece. It was really an honor to have been asked by Chronicle Books to write the Greek tome for what has turned into an award-winning series. For me, that was yet another sign that Greek cuisine in the United States was finely being given its due and finally being embraced by the mainstream. The Country Cooking of Greece will be out in the fall of 2012, and in it I look at the simple, delicious, healthy foods that are still the mainstay of life in the Greek countryside today. But before the publication of any book, especially a cookbook, which is complicated and multifaceted, there is the process, the road the author takes to get her to those first bound galleys. I thought it would be fun to take readers on a parallel journey, into what went into the making of the book. So starting now, and running through its publication in November, 2012, I will serve forth what I like to think of as a “poikilia” a meze platter of behind-the-scenes tidbits that I hope will eventually entice you to sit down for the full-course meal, the book itself. I’ll share recipes that never made it in for all sorts of reasons, text that I had to cut because of space limitations, photos of places, people, and dishes that we had to nix because they just couldn’t all fit, manuscript
