One of the defining characteristics of a nation is its linguistic identity, while another significant cultural marker is a nation’s culinary identity. Local cuisine serves as a distinguishing factor for a place and its people, a culture that evolved through the ages, being part of the heritage transmitted from generation to generation. 

Native Tongue draws inspiration from the dual meaning of our linguistic identity, which serves as a means of communication, expression of thoughts and feelings, but also as a sensory organ of taste.

Welcome to the beautiful land of Greece, where you can indulge your senses in the sensual tastes of the Mediterranean. Explore through Native Tongue the famous local cuisine that is steeped in aromas and stories from our ancestors, and discover the rich culinary traditions that have been passed down through generations.

In Greece, grandmas (or “yiayia” in Greek) are often considered to be the guardians of traditional cooking methods and recipes. Greek cuisine is known for its emphasis on home cooking, and many Greek families have passed down traditional recipes and cooking techniques from generation to generation.
Grandmas are often the ones who teach their grandchildren how to cook traditional Greek dishes, and they are highly respected for their knowledge and skills in the kitchen. They typically use fresh, locally-sourced ingredients and rely on simple, traditional methods to create delicious and flavorful meals.
Grandmas’ cooking is also often associated with memories of childhood and home, and their dishes are often seen as comforting and nostalgic. Many Greek grandmas take great pride in their cooking and consider it to be an important part of their role in the family.
