You Say Tomato, I Say Domata | My Greek Table with Diane Kochilas

Nov 20, 2024 | Can anyone imagine Greek cuisine without the tomato? It took a curious Capuchin monk living in the Plaka section of Athens, to first plant this new-world vegetable in the 18th century. From there, the tomato spread to Santorini, and the rest is history. Diane follows the path of this most basic food, all the while cooking up some of Greece's most delectable tomato-based dishes.

My Greek Table is a journey through Greece's mountains, islands, villages, and cities in search of the country's most delicious, healthy recipes and raw ingredients. Diane Kochilas, the host of My Greek Table, is a native New Yorker who adopted Greece as her home more than two decades ago. With My Greek Table, Diane will shed light on one of the world's oldest and healthiest cuisines.
