Kalitsounia
Kalitsounia () are small cheese or herb snacks associated with the Greek island of Crete. They can be described as a treat, with different filling and serving variations. So, in Chania we find the salty kalitsounia, stuffed with the locally made mild whey cheese mizithra, or various herbs from the Cretan land (without cheese) and the sweet kalitsounia, also stuffed with mizithra but with honey poured on top. In the Lasithi region, they are mainly sweet, made with dough and filled with mizithra, cinnamon, and sometimes lemon zest. To make the filling for cheese kalitsounia, the whey cheese is grated and mixed with eggs (so the filling will hold together) and finely chopped herbs. This is a unique delicacy served in the entire island. In the Chania prefecture, it can be found throughout popular restaurants as well as in small mountainous villages. Kalitsounia can be either baked or fried depending on whether they are made with dough or filo. See also *Calisson *Börek *Gözleme *Pu ...

Cretan Cuisine
Cretan cuisine ( el, Κρητική κουζίνα) is the traditional cuisine of the Mediterranean island of Crete. Background The core of the Cretan cuisine consists of food derived from plants, whereas food of animal origin was more peripheral in nature. In general, people consumed seasonal products, available in the wider local area, which underwent minimal processing or none at all. The traditional cuisine was widespread in the island until the 1960s when, with improving living standards, alimentary patterns changed towards more meat and other animal-derived produce. Fresh fruit and dried fruits, pulses, endemic wild herbs and aromatic plants, and rough cereals, whose cultivation was favored by the regional climate, were consumed in great amounts and constituted the base of the Cretan cuisine during that period.
