This presentation is about the practical aspects of the traditional Greek diet of the 1950s and beyond, which is regarded as the prototype Mediterranean diet – a healthy, low cost and pro-environment diet. 

Food components will be described as well as the recent misuse of the term MedDiet. The importance of the easy and naturally developed flavours of this diet will also be discussed.
