Celebrating International Food Day in Greece (16 October)

World Food Day was proclaimed in 1979 by the Conference of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). It marks the date of the founding of FAO in 1945. The aim of the Day is to heighten public awareness of the world food problem and strengthen solidarity in the struggle against hunger, malnutrition and poverty. In 1980, the General Assembly endorsed observance of the Day in consideration of the fact that "food is a requisite for human survival and well-being and a fundamental human necessity" Here in Greece, we are known for our grapes!We make tasty wines but use the must to make different products. The International Food day,we decided to make cookies with must, we call them moustokouloura and are really tasty and healthy! You can hear a traditional children song which is called "Platho koulourakia" which means make cookies!
