Atheinaios great ancient chef and gourmet seeker:”…how poetry resembles to cooking, as both artists use their intuition in Art!”

You are at the "Archaion Gastronomia"food concept, a culinary approach, beyond the ordinary.

This is a different experience of authentic culinary flavors from Greece, passing through the centuries, and on to our days..

With " Archaion Gastronomia ", you can visit ancient Greece through its gastronomy, through forgotten recipes based on the ingredients of ancient time and having references or descriptions  in ancient books and manuscripts.

Quite valuable and helpful, were the archaeologists, historians, chefs, sommeliers, marketers, but even ordinary people who kept from generation to generation valuable traditional recipes of local cultures.

Our priority in "Archaion Gastronomia" is to introduce to you "lost" recipes with healthy ingredients and cooking methods, which were the ancestors of the Mediterranean food pyramid and kitchen of today , such as wheat - olive oil - wine.

The basic recipes start from Ancient Greece around 3000 bc reaching the Archestratus 330 bc until the 1st century bc and the extravagant meals of Luculus, after Tiberius in the 1st century ad  and Apicius, in 400ad, but also recipes from the ad era, which arrived to the kitchens of our grandmothers, with materials available in those historical times, but  also with various cultural influences.

The Greeks created the philosophical basis of "good living", the Epicurean philosophy, according to which, main aim of life is pleasure, though not implying  a good time, as we refer to it today, but the interest in quality food.

Approximately until 1400ad, we will not read about tomatoes, potatoes, rice, eggplant, carrots, spaghetti ...but instead, oatmeal, fruit, green vegetables,bulbs , meat, wild prey , fish and seafood in general, with many sauces, herbs, spices, different kinds of bread and plenty of ' watered wine "and for the adventurous" straight wine".

The “oenomelo” (sweet honeyes wine) will welcome you, as close as possible to the opening rituals of the ancient banquet, wine with honey and rosewater.

We aspire the "Archaion Gastronomia" to become a culinary journey through the ages, presenting new flavors every time to delight your palate and according to Epicurus ... the "pleasure of your hull '
