[@Madpencildust22]

What a beautiful way to live ❤❤❤Such longevity! No unhealthy stuff in it. Fresh healthy and healing food like this is such a blessing❤❤❤❤

[@LorraineinAustralia]

What a mind blowing experience 😮.. this is how travelling should be. Eating the food of the locals, made and grown by local people. I envy ( in a good way) your day in Crete. What a marvellous place.❤

[@Mediterraneanliving]

It was truly magical. Can't wait to go back!

[@tammytaylor4220]

So simple and perfect, I wish we could live like this worldwide

[@Mediterraneanliving]

It would certainly be amazing if we could all live more like this. It is one of the reasons we moved out to the country!

[@LurkerSmurf]

Thanks for the tour!

[@Mediterraneanliving]

You are welcome!

[@roslynalcock6917]

Wow I’m blown away by the beauty of this island and I’ve only seen a tiny part! Anyone who is able to eat at this wonderful restaurant is truly blessed. Thank you for sharing. PS - since I found your channel I’ve been eating veg, fruit, legumes and olive oil galore and absolutely loving it!

[@Mediterraneanliving]

There are so many wonderful places in Crete. Definitely worth a village. Glad the channel has helped you make changes!

[@johnsummers7389]

That looked amazing and how wonderful that someone shares their heart so much with others.

[@Mediterraneanliving]

He is a pretty amazing guy!

The wild asparagus reminded me of Horta which I absolutely ❤ Fabulous meal !!!

[@lovebythemoon5230]

Absolutely beautiful and the food looked so amazing ! Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience with us ❤

[@Mediterraneanliving]

You are welcome. Hope you can make it there also!

[@kimberlyberlin4999]

This is reminding me of our trip to Greece. We had the most delicious, wholesome food while there. Simple ingredients but the best quality cooked expertly. I will try a couple of these recipes this week. I had the best roast chicken with potatoes of my life in Nafplion and the best moussaka in Hydra. I still dream about the food. I want to visit Crete next time we go to Greece.

[@Mediterraneanliving]

The food in Greece and Crete (and the other islands) is just amazing!

[@maryannebastek4780]

Great video! Makes me want to fly over there right now :-) can’t wait to try some of the recipes.

[@Mediterraneanliving]

Enjoy!

[@Francie315]

Seems wholesome and tasty!

[@Mediterraneanliving]

They were. We make a lot of delicious food, but it is hard to beat what Stelios does.

[@byzantineladybug9471]

These dishes look delicious!! 👍🥰🇬🇷

[@Mediterraneanliving]

They were delectable!

[@nooshi6698]

I visited Crete in 2016 and the food was amazing and healthy. I have never had such tasty vegetables in my life.

[@martinepeters9891]

Thanks! I wanted to eat keto, but I can't afford it. Now Thomas de Lauer his channel is advocating Mediterranean, but he didn't mention what to eat. So I came here via him. 😊

[@timotheedonaldstewart6555]

Awesome video. Thanks o sharing.

[@allieshepherd7860]

I feel like I have just been to a paradise on Earth. Cooking all that delicious, natural, organic, nutritious food on a wood-fired stove. I need some more cooking lessons.

[@carolparry4077]

This is, without doubt an incredible place , and super healthy, but not the only one by a long wY. Plenty of others.

[@Mediterraneanliving]

yes, of course! There are so many amazing places to eat all over the world and even in Crete there are many that are just incredible.

[@kyciarelli3847]

This honestly makes me want to cry - it makes me realize how plain backwards our cuisine is here in Canada and the USA. This video right here looks like such a beautiful way to live. Hard work, but beautiful.

[@Mediterraneanliving]

It is really an amazing spot. Well worth the visit.

[@kathleenschneider3498]

I would really like to visit with these wonderful people 😊

[@Mediterraneanliving]

You can! It is a bit of a trip, but they are very welcoming!

[@GrammieBear5]

Amazing

[@Mediterraneanliving]

It is worth the visit!

[@1963mathetes]

I tell you, if I ever visit the island of Crete I may never leave!

[@Mediterraneanliving]

We have thought of not leaving more than once!

[@violetgaribyan-jg9ll]

Wow❤ yummy food🥦🌺🍇🌶️

[@ironjohn]

Is it possible to eat margarine, butter and cold meats in this diet or is it not customary to eat such things there? Also, in what quantity can you eat these?

[@Mediterraneanliving]

So, margarine is not eaten anywhere in the Mediterranean and I try to stay away from it as well. Butter is eaten in different quantities in different regions of the Mediterranean. Olive oil is almost the main source of fat though. Cold meats are eaten especially in Spain, France and Italy, but they are usually in another dish and always served with lots of vegetables

[@frannypeony2076]

So special 🥰 Thank you for sharing! Just read an article in The Guardian about how many of the olive trees in the Mediterranean are suffering due to the climate & eco crisis. Just think of the ramifications 🧐😔 My family & I are eating goat more often. Have you come across any goat recipes on your sojourns? My mum (who is sadly no longer with us) often cooked my siblings & me delectable, tender lamb brains for breakfast. I’ve yet to do the same for my family - perhaps it’s time to give it a try.

[@Mediterraneanliving]

I don't cook goat often so really don't have any good recipes. I would check out Diane Kochilas' site, I bet she has some.

[@frannypeony2076]

Thank you for introducing me to Diane Kochilas! I’ve found one goat recipe - Lemony Braised Goat w/ blackened garlic & white wine 😋 Also, she has some lovely lamb recipes which could easily be interchanged with goat. 🪷

[@ironjohn]

In the Mediterranean Diet, do people living on Crete and Ikaria use white rice, white pasta and white bread, or do they use whole grains? I once made whole wheat bread (spelt) but it was very bitter. Nutritionists say whole grains are good, others say white.

[@Mediterraneanliving]

This is a great question. Generally, they eat semolina pasta which has a lower glycemic index than something like bread and their bread tends to be white, but still a heartier grain is used. They also tend to eat sourdough bread.

[@ironjohn]

@@Mediterraneanliving Is spelled bread, which is 70% wholemeal spelled flour and 30% white flour, suitable?

[@xrysamelissourgaki5990]

Cretan traditional diet..

[@Mediterraneanliving]

One of my favorites!

[@violetgaribyan-jg9ll]

🌷🥑🍳🌿🫒

[@0861USMC]

They definitely eat their fare share of carbohydrates; rice, bread, potatoes.

[@Mediterraneanliving]

Yes, absolutely and still are some of the healthiest people.
