Hellenic cuisine is one of the many wonderful gifts that the ancient Greeks "Hellenes" contributed to the modern world.  The origin of this cuisine, so mythology tells us, began when Zeus planned his wedding banquet to celebrate his marriage to the Goddess Hera,
on the island of Evvia (pronounced Eh-vee-ah).

Zeus commanded Dionysus, the God of food and wine, to gather the world's freshest, healthiest and most savory ingredients and to prepare a banquet truly "fit for the Gods".

Zeus loved this food so much that he decided to share it with his beloved Greek mortals giving birth to this new cuisine.
