Do You Know Someone Who Needs Assistance?

It's often true that those who need help most, don't ask. At GoS we'd like to make the difference. Why? There are many reasons. 1) Because they need help. 2) Because we care for those in need. 3) Because we need to keep staff employed, 4) Because we need to keep stock rotated and fresh. 5) Because we need to keep our suppliers/delivery in service. IT'S a WIN WIN no MATTER how you look at it! So Please, if you are ordering from GoS, let us KNOW of a friend, neighbor or family member that needs and extra hug of support and we will ADD a CARE package that you will deliver!

FAB GREEK FAVA

Neolithic man knew of fava and cultivated it in the Eastern Mediterranean Basin circa 6,500 BC. By the Bronze age, the easy growing protein rich and cold resistant plant had made its way across Europe and northern Africa. By the Medieval Age, fava, protein rich (32% RDA for iron, 42% RDA for folate, a good source of thiamine, vitamin K, B-6, potassium, selenium, zinc and magnesium), was the dietary staple of the masses across what is today, Europe.

Fillo Phyllo Filo

Those tissue thin pastry sheets layered, stacked, wrapped and coiled into an endless variety of toothsome savory and sweet snacks, breakfast-to-goes, sides and entrees, Filo, Fillo, Phyllo is translated from the Greek, “leaf” and neatly describes this transparent pastry.

The earliest recipes and reference to stacking thin layers of dough was with nuts and honey, by the ancient Greeks as the sweetmeat called “gastrin”. Gastrin, a Cretan dessert described by Athenaeus in 500BC called for three thin layers of dough stacked with nuts, sesame and poppy seeds, and doused with honey.

Just Pita

What do beer and bread have in common?—Fermentation by yeast. At least 30,000 years ago “bread” was discovered. Wheat and barley were among the first crops to be domesticated in the Fertile Crescent. Its cultivation was crucial in the transition from paleolithic man (hunter and gatherer) to become neolithic man(farmer).

An Engagement at the Gardens!

We knew right away that the Gardens is a hot
spot first date place by the comments our customers made and by the
frequency of "First Dates" leading to weddings, but last night, to our
knowledge, the first proposal AND acceptance was exchanged between
Oscar and Natalia, a favorite former server ...at the Gardens. It was a
proud and exciting moment and some of us couldn't help but hovering in
anticipation. Here they share a complimentary bottle of Agiomino, the
beautiful Agiorgitiko (St George) grape aged 12 months in new French
oak.
