My Greek Table with
Diane Kochilas

My Greek Table with Diane Kochilas is a national public television series that invites viewers into the kitchens, gardens, villages, and markets of Greece to discover the food, culture, and traditions behind the Mediterranean diet. Hosted by New York Times bestselling cookbook author and longtime Ikaria resident Diane Kochilas, each season pairs accessible, delicious recipes with real travel and storytelling — from island tavernas to Athens’ oldest neighborhoods — and explores how Greeks actually cook, eat, and live. Now airing its fifth season nationwide and filming its sixth, My Greek Table has become a trusted destination for home cooks who want real Greek and Mediterranean cooking, not a tourist-brochure version of it.

Season 5: The Flavors of Longevity

Season 5 of My Greek Table carries the theme “The Flavors of Longevity,” a delicious investigation into how the Mediterranean diet — and specifically the food culture of Ikaria, a Greek Blue Zone and Diane’s own ancestral home — helps explain why so many Ikarians live active, healthy lives well past 90 and 100. Across 13 new episodes, Diane cooks vibrant, mostly plant-based recipes in Greek kitchens and gardens, traces the science behind longevity eating, and sits down with leading doctors and researchers to unpack how food choices shape a longer, fuller life.

Timely Themes This Season

Season 5 tackles one of today’s most searched health topics — how to eat for longevity — through episodes including “Let Food Be Thy Medicine,” on ancient and modern healing ingredients; “Greens Rule the Day,” filmed with a 96-year-old fellow Ikarian villager; “Plant-Based in Ancient Greece,” on the Pythagorean diet; “Mushrooms for Our Minds”; “Beans, the #1 Longevity Ingredient”; “Olive Oil & Longevity,” featuring Harvard research; “Phyllo for Healthy Fun”; and “Sustainable Feasts,” on cooking that’s as good for the planet as it is for the table. Every episode pairs a mouthwatering, achievable recipe with warm storytelling that connects the science of longevity to the everyday pleasure of eating together.
