      Cooking Techniques with Olive Oil - Mary Platis

      Oil

      Introduction

      Meet Mary Papoulias-Platis (on the left)

      In a Greek household, olive oil serves many purposes. Not only is it a staple in the kitchen, it’s a key ingredient in every aspect of our lives. As a young girl, I remember watching my mother slather her arms and hands with olive oil. She would combine avocado, eggs and olive oil into a lotion and spread it over her face as a weekend cleansing mask. Now, I watch my husband use olive oil to remove motor oil and dirt from his hands after a long day in the garage. Who would have guessed? I often ask myself, "What don’t Greeks use olive oil for?"

      Though olive oil was always an integral part of my life, a recent trip to Greece changed the way I now think about it. My husband and I spent several days on Kythera, the island from which my husband’s family immigrated. We toured ancient olive groves and experienced the entire process of making olive oil from olive to oil. I developed a new-found respect for first press and organic extra virgin olive oil due to the extensive hours of hard work that are required to produce a single bottle.

      As a chef, I try to incorporate extra virgin olive oil into my cooking classes, blog recipes and home-cooked meals in any way imaginable. The more I learn about the endless uses of extra virgin olive oil, the more confidence I gain in cooking with this truly extraordinary ingredient. I continue to share these lessons through my recipes and cooking techniques on my food blog California Greek Girl – and now, you, too, can master the use of olive oil.

      Meet Laura Bashar (on the right)

      From my earliest memory, food has always been the center of family gatherings. Whether we were watching my grandmother carefully fan the flames for the perfect kabob or gathering with cousins to compare notes on our favorite dishes, we always talked about food or talked in the presence of food. My mother is Iranian, my father American. I was raised eating gourmet meals ranging from Persian stews to shrimp scampi. Growing up, my mom loved to cook despite working full time as a micro-paleontologist. I often helped start family dinners and I loved trying to create eccentric dishes that I read about in cookbooks. Even when I was a young advertising executive, long before food blogs made their appearance, I collected magazines, tested the recipes I saw, and continued my journey with food.

      And now, with a family of my own, I am teaching the same culinary lessons to my children. Their palate is refined. They recognize quality ingredients. To put it bluntly, they are spoiled. And why not? Why should bland starchy foods be the norm on the American dinner
