Answer 8

yes. Greek cooking has been influenced by other cultures, as have the cuisines of most countries, of all of those countries, Greece must be foremost in the ranks of having a "fusion" cuisine which is easily traced back to 350 B.C.

Italian cooking is more of a regional based cuisine with 20 different regions each with their own specialties. Not only will you find it regionalized but localized. A receipe can change drastically within a 10 mile radius.
