Food in the Mediterranean has never stood still. It has always moved with the people who made it -- across sea routes, through invasions, along trade roads, and into kitchens where it was quietly transformed into something new.
Med.kitchen follows that movement. We write about where dishes come from, what they reveal about the cultures that shaped them, and why the arguments about who owns them still matter. We are based in Gozo, at the centre of it all, and that gives us a particular perspective, one that is Maltese, Mediterranean, and stubbornly curious.
This is not a guide to eating well on holiday. It is a running conversation about one of the world's most contested and complex food cultures.
