Urban Greek Gemista Feature in Tasmanian Times
We are proud to share that the Urban Greek Gemista feature in Tasmanian Times beautifully captures the heart of our culinary philosophy – bringing the warmth and authenticity of Greek village cooking to Hobart. The article, titled _“Taste of a Greek Village: Yiayia’s Gemista”_, takes readers on a nostalgic journey through the flavours and memories of traditional Greek kitchens.
The Soul of Greek Cooking: Gemista
Gemista, which means “stuffed” in Greek, is a cherished dish made with vegetables such as tomatoes and peppers, filled with rice, herbs, and spices. The article describes how this dish, often prepared by Yiayia (Greek grandmother), is more than just food – it’s a story of family, tradition, and love.
At Urban Greek, we prepare Gemista using fresh local produce and time-honoured techniques that stay true to our heritage. This commitment to authenticity is exactly what the Tasmanian Times article celebrates – how we honour the past through flavour and careful preparation.
