April is a special month, not only for Greece but for the whole world.

Thessaloniki has started to smell like summer! What could be nicer than an outing in nature, to the magnificent Mount Olympus for hiking and picnicking! Being in the mood for contact with nature sparked a huge discussion about organic vs.

There are many substitutes for white flour – which nutritionally don't offer much.

Common sowthistles – ‘zochia’ – are fantastic greens for this season in Greece! Whenever I see them in the countryside, I remember my grandmother, Evropi, gathering them, boiling them for salad, and sometimes putting them in a pie! Sonchus oleraceus (Common sowthistle) belongs to the family that includes botanicals such as sunflowers, dandelions, and similar plants.

During Orthodox Christian fasting periods, it is certain that our choices are more limited.

My first lesson on aromatic and medicinal plants was from a great teacher  and professor regarding essential oils.

It is not an accident that the stomach reacts to stress and pressure.

I can't imagine myself vegan! If only because of the cheese! The wave of plant-based vegan products has puzzled and affected me greatly, but I am not close to wanting to be a vegetarian! Despite all of that, it's worth it and it can be an advantage! I recently first laid my eyes on the word ‘Veganuary’ (vegan+January), which started as a campaign in 2014 to protect the planet and evolved into new commercial plant-based products (it's all about money!).

In Greece’s agricultural sector, the family has had and will continue to have a dominant position.

Despite the fact that high consumption of meat, especially red meat, is not recommended for health, a balanced diet always includes it.
