Main Ingredients: Sea & Sun

The Aegean Sea and Islands have been shaped by the sun, the sea and the invigorating winds. The local culinary traditions date back to ancient times and they are an intrinsic part of the Aegean Culture. Top quality ingredients wear the aromas of the earth: oregano, thyme, bay leaves, rosemary, lemons, and olive oil. Each island’s microclimate has contributed to the growth of flavourful produce, some of which are unique across the world.

Greens & Aromatic Plants

The Aegean landscape hides fragrant and tasty surprises to visitors who want to explore its rough barren hills and volcanic soil, its olive groves that grow on dry soil and its rocky shores. Savour boiled greens picked from the mountains, sprinkled with olive oil and lemon juice as a side dish to your grilled meat or fish dish. A large variety of aromatic plants and herbs, such as oregano, savory, marjoram and thyme flavour marinades and stews cooked in lemon sauce. Capers and crithmum (rock samphire) are two wild plants that thrive by the seashore and they make some excellent appetizers to enjoy with your tsipouro drink.

Fresh Fish & Seafood Appetizers

Fish can be cooked in various ways as long as you use your imagination… and in this department Greeks fare well. Small or medium sized fish are floured and fried in sizzling olive oil which turns them into crispy treats, sometimes served along with a tasty sourish marinade-sauce called ‘savoro’. To make this sauce locals use olive oil, quality vinegar, rosemary, and oregano – it’s the standard recipe on most of the islands.

On Tinos Island people add petimezi (grape molasses) to their food, which lends their creations a particular flavour. Other dishes you’ll love are: red mullets with a barley rusk crust on Mytilini, Lesvos Island; oven-baked fish with sesame paste (tachini) on Rhodes Island; chub mackerel with capers; grouper stew with onions; kakavia soup (made with rockfish); picarel omelette on Santorini and Syros Islands; a fish pie made with Mediterranean sand smelt on Kimolos Island; stuffed squid with rice or feta cheese, cuttlefish with fennel and olives, to name but a few…

Make sure you also taste some special mezedes (meaning titbits) with your tsipouro or ouzo drink, such as salt-cured sardines from Mytilini, grilled sun-dried chub mackerel (gouna) from Paros Island, a salad with herring roe from Syros Island, marinated anchovies and salt-cured tuna.

Shellfish

Delicious summer teasers!

With the thousands dispersed islands, the deep blue clear seas, and the innumerable leeward bays, Greece is the ideal place for hundreds of shelfish to be found in abundance. Hundreds of species of shellfish reside in the Greek seas. No matter what the geographical variation of their names is, they keep the aromas of the sea well enclosed in their tiny bodies.

Mussels, with their black lustrous colour and the hair between the two shells, are usually attached on rocks in shallow waters. Oysters are stunning like scarlet gems with an iodine scent. Scallops are well-known for their brackish taste and their tender heart well protected by the hard shell.

Pen shells stand on the bottom of the sea – sometimes ajar- on the alert for capturing their food; their allies are two little shrimps that bite their tender parts whenever there is enemy at the gates. With a taste reminiscent of oyster, there are the red and sharp arca shells. Thorny sea urchins encompass gold and red eggs. Sea figs resemble hairy stones in a dark khaki tone. Clams shine in their brownish shell which keeps their skin juicy and delicious.

The sea on your table

Raw or cooked, shellfish reach the top of their taste potential when served with lemon. Here are our suggestions:

Mussels: hot with just a drop of olive oil; fried with feta, oregano and other spices; in souvlaki; in a mussel pilaf.
Clams, oysters, sea figs and arca shells are best when eaten raw with lemon.
Pen shells: when fried they taste like crabs.
Sea urchins provide irresistible delicious salads with a strong sea aroma.
Scallops are wonderful whether grilled, fried, or cooked with pasta on a tomato sauce.

Gastronomy

Diving into omega-3’s

Rich in polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, shellfish armour health as they prevent from heart diseases and hypertension, they reduce the effects of diabetes, and they stimulate your libido. What is more, they contain proteins, calcium, phosphorous, iodine, and low-calorie carbohydrates.

Tips for shellfish lovers

Opening a shellfish is a small adventure. The easiest way is to put a knife at the slit between the two shells and twist it softly. Then detach the skin. When it comes to sea urchins, use a knife to open its mouth.

MadeinMycountry Belize: Caribbean dream destination!

Belize is a country on the north-eastern coast of Central America. It is bordered by Mexico to the north, the Caribbean Sea to the east, and Guatemala to the west and south. It also shares a maritime boundary with Honduras to the southeast. Belize is a member of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), and is considered part of the Caribbean region and the historical British West Indies.

The Belize Barrier Reef turned 10,000 years old on June 8, 2022, and Belize is celebrating the longevity of this natural wonder by pledging to continue preserving it for generations today and those to come. The second-largest barrier reef in the world, it extends the full length of Belize, forming an enormous lagoon along its coast and protecting its shores from large waves, even during extreme weather. This also creates an ideal habitat for a wide variety of oceanic creatures, from rock-like living coral to endangered sea turtles to over 500 species of fish in every color of the rainbow.

MadeinMycountry is a global platform that celebrates and supports local history, culture, art, and nature conservation efforts. For two decades, we have been sponsoring local museums, cultural organizations, travel destinations, historical sites and various cultural events around the world.

Belize has committed to preserving a full 30% of its oceanic territory— over 10,000 square kilometers, including each of its seven marine protected areas. Combined with other efforts like a total ban on single-use plastics taking effect in 2022, this has made Belize a leader in conservation in the Caribbean and, truly, the world.

Belize’s Barrier Reef has long drawn SCUBA divers, snorkelers and fisherman from across the globe, so it’s no surprise it was named a UNESCO world heritage site in 1996. The region is also home to 3 of only 4 atolls in all of the Atlantic Ocean, numerous patch reefs that dot the offshore waters and the world-famous “Great Blue Hole” as well. Belize is an aquatic wonderland that Charles Darwin himself once called “the most remarkable reef in the West Indies,” and Belize aims to keep it that way!

MadeinMycountry Caribbean sea

The Caribbean Sea is a sea of the North Atlantic Ocean in the tropics of the Western Hemisphere. It is bounded by the Greater Antilles to the north from Cuba to Puerto Rico, the Lesser Antilles to the east from the Virgin Islands to Trinidad and Tobago, South America to the south from the Venezuelan coastline to the Colombian coastline, and Central America and the Yucatan Peninsula to the west from Panama to Mexico.

The Caribbean Sea is one of the largest seas on Earth and has an area of about 2,754,000 km2 (1,063,000 sq mi). The Caribbean Sea has the world’s second-largest barrier reef, the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. It runs 1,000 km (620 mi) along the Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras coasts.

The region around the Caribbean Sea, including the numerous islands of the West Indies and adjacent coastal areas in the mainland of the Americas, is known as the Caribbean.

The Caribbean is the home of about 9% of the world’s coral reefs, covering about 50,000 km2 (19,000 sq mi), most of which are located off the Caribbean islands and the Central American coast. Among them, the Belize Barrier Reef stands out, with an area of 963 km2 (372 sq mi), which was declared a World Heritage Site in 1996. It forms part of the Great Mayan Reef (also known as the MBRS) and, being more than 1,000 km (600 mi) in length, is the world’s second longest. It runs along the Caribbean coasts of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Honduras.

Since 2005, unusually warm Caribbean waters have been increasingly threatening the coral reefs. Coral reefs support some of the most diverse marine habitats in the world, but they are fragile ecosystems. When tropical waters become unusually warm for extended periods of time, microscopic plants called zooxanthellae, which are symbiotic partners living within the coral polyp tissues, die off.

These plants provide food for the corals and give them their color. The result of the death and dispersal of these tiny plants is called coral bleaching and can lead to the devastation of large areas of reef. More than 42% of corals are completely bleached, and 95% are experiencing some type of whitening. Historically, the Caribbean is thought to contain 14% of the world’s coral reefs.

Jingle Bells !!

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight!

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way.
Oh! what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh. Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way;
Oh! what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

A day or two ago
I thought I’d take a ride
And soon, Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side,
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifted bank
And then we got up sot

A day or two ago,
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow,
And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh,
He laughed as there I sprawling lie,
But quickly drove away. Ah!

Now the ground is white
Go it while you’re young,
Take the girls tonight
and sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bobtailed bay
Two forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And snap! You’ll take the lead.
