According to Aristotle, the world was based on five building elements, earth, fire, water, air and ether. Gastronomy professor Giorgos Palisidis built what he calls the “Aristotelian menuâ€, based on foods and ingredients of northern Greece, the birthplace of the great philosopher.
The recipes, Palisidis is making today are based on archaeological findings regarding the materials ancient Greeks used in the kitchen for their daily diet. The dishes also combine materials from Chalkidiki, the professor’s native place. The use of the specific fruits, herbs, wines, honey and other materials were widespread at the time of Aristotle.
The aim of the gastronomy professor was to bring the diet of the ancients to today’s table, mainly as good grounds for a healthy diet.
