Intro:  Macedonia. Macedonia’s coldest mountain enclaves are where the best Greek giant beans—the baked, buttery gigantes of so many taverna menus—are grown, especially around Prespes. Macedonia is also where the best nuts, everything from walnuts to almonds to hazelnuts, grow. All these and more find there their way into Ouzaki. The taste for the hearty, strong-bodied dishes runs in other directions, too. In Macedonia cuisine the influence of Asia Minor is obvious.
