About

My story starts off in a Chicago suburb, where my mom would spend hours on end in the kitchen cooking Greek and only Greek food. At school while the other kids had bologna and cheese sandwiches, we had pastichio (a Greek type of lasagna), she never made toll house chocolate chip cookies like my best friends mom, instead we had to eat melomakarona, Greek honey and walnut cookies. And when our mother did decide to cook an American recipe, she’d always manage to sneak in that ubiquitous “Greek element”, hamburger patties with a sprinkle of oregano and lemon, cookies with olive oil… you get the picture.

For a few years we moved to Greece, where I got to experience this diet in its natural environment. Even as recent as the 80’s, most Greeks were eating meals with seasonal produce, a little bit of meat and children were not eating junk food with the exception of an occasional ice cream in the summer. Returning back to the U.S. I started my studies in nutrition.

You can imagine my surprise when I moved to Greece 10 years later, and discovered that Greeks were snubbing Greek food, choosing Caesar’s Salad over Greek salad and brownies over baklava. Didn’t they know that the Greek-Mediterranean diet was the healthiest in the world?

Sadly, despite our forefather philosopher’s rants about enjoying everything “in good measure” and “nothing in excess”, today’s reports show that Greeks, Italians and other Mediterranean nations – those very cultures that instituted the Mediterranean Diet – are consuming more calories and more saturated fat than ever before. In fact, the latest statistics reveal a prevalence of obesity in Greece at 22.5%, with 35.2% of the population being overweight.

Surprised? I was.

As a Registered Dietitian, writer and mother of two, currently living in Greece, I took more than just a professional interest in the Mediterranean Diet, its preservation and promotion. As a Greek, I had a personal stake in it too. I felt that it was time to bring the Mediterranean Diet, back into the picture; clearing up prejudices and misunderstandings; making it relevant today and applicable to the modern way of life.

That said, I welcome you to Olive Tomato. If you want to learn more about the Mediterranean Diet and are looking for tried and trusted information, you’re at the right place. Join me as I talk about the nutritional value of the Greek Diet, cooking, news, research, Greek products, and easy ways to incorporate Greek and Mediterranean ingredients and recipes to your diet.

I invite you to try my tips and recipes, read the articles and stories, stay up to date on the science behind the Mediterranean Diet, and of course, leave comments and suggestions.
