It sounds like you have a strong connection to Greek food and culture, and I'm glad you can use your cooking to take you there. Food is a powerful way to learn about other cultures and remember good times. Your imagined setting and description of the chickpea soup are very clear. I can almost taste and feel the warmth of the sun and smell the salt in the air. Have you tried making any other Greek dishes, or do you like to try out other types of food?
