- Synopsis
- A new documentary series presents the evolution of food in the Greek lands and the Mediterranean, with five fine episodes ranging in time from the prehistoric era, antiquity, Byzantium, the Ottoman times, the establishment of the modern Greek state, up to the Greece of today. How has food changed, the utensils, the dietary habits in the Greek lands over the ages? How much have we been influenced by other civilizations and how have we influenced them? What did ordinary people eat in antiquity and in Byzantium? What connection do the Arabs, the Ottomans, the Italians and the French have with Greek cuisine? What are the facts and what are the myths concerning the “Mediterranean diet”? These are just some of the questions that SKAI television’s new series of documentaries, due to be screened from the beginning of 2017, will try to answer.
The aim is for the documentary series to present an exciting journey through the history of food starting 500,000 years ago and continuing the story up to our own times. Contemporary scientific research, recent archaeological discoveries, unknown historical documentation, rare archival film, 3D animation, aerial photography, not to mention dramatic representations of everyday life from prehistory to the present: all these characterize this rare – by Greek standards - televisual experiment. The series includes interviews with important Greek and foreign experts, footage from archaeological and historical locations in all of mainland Greece and the Greek islands as well as significant sites abroad such as Constantinople, Cappadocia and Asia Minor, Marseilles, Sicily and Rome. Researchers and experts in nutrition illuminate unknown aspects in the evolution of Greek food and culinary skills and also the cultural influences that constitute an integral part of Greek diet and identity.
