In ancient Greece, kitchens were known as kouzina. Glass-front cabinets with pressed botanical specimens were not a feature of ancient Greek kitchens. These kitchens were simple and functional, with a focus on practicality rather than aesthetics. The Greeks cooked their meals using open hearths or portable stoves. They used a variety of ingredients such as olive oil, fish, meat, vegetables, and grains. The kitchen was a gathering place for family and friends, where they would share meals and engage in lively conversations.
