In Greek traditional culture, according to the folk calendar, specific foods are prepared and consumed throughout the fasting periods of the year. Through popular piety and the customs and traditions of each region, the high meanings of theology are preserved and safeguarded experientially, which testifies that the people not only understood the ecclesiastical events and their value, but also experienced them and embedded them in their collective memory, valuing them as a dynamic element of our culture. Myrtos Publications and author Sara Fafouti present you with special traditional fasting dishes that are an integral part of the festive ritual in many regions of Greece. Women from every corner of the country pass these recipes from generation to generation. Dozens of similarities and just as many variations, because each region has its own foods, ingredients, wines, and recipes, which hold within them the wisdom of the Greek land. The flavors speak for each place individually. A journey, a wandering in Greece, from Macedonia to Crete and from the Aegean to the Ionian, through a pilgrimage in search of fasting flavors that hide within them the habits of years and fortunately remain existent and unchanged.
