Why Tzatziki deserves more attention

Tzatziki rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The bright and lemony complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using Greek olive oil correctly takes real skill.

the sharing table or mezethes is central to Greek social eating. I encountered it first in a meze sharing table and that context helped me understand it properly. retsina is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Tzatziki is the dish to start with.
