Trending: Jamie Olivier's pukka tucker...

Is Jamie Oliver about to change our experience of in-flight food?

He hasn't become an airline caterer, and no, I don't mean that in future your choice of stewed black beef or hunt-the-flavour chicken will be offered in a chirpy, cockney-geezer voice. But Oliver has just opened a restaurant-cum-bar at Gatwick airport that could make life happier at 30,000 feet.

Jamie's Italian Bakery, in the North Terminal, offers "Anglo-Californian" breakfasts, pasta lunches and dinners, together with home-made pizza and charcuterie you can take to eat on the plane.

It's called, in Jamie-speak, "grab'n'graze".

So Greece votes against departing from the eurozone and embracing devaluation hell. Hurrah.

Holidaymakers can return to Paxos or Lindos, safe in the knowledge that the currency won't go all funny while they're in mid-bouzouki dance. Foodies can explore Greek suppers again without wondering if dolmades and feta exports are going to dry up.

But where can you get authentic Greek food? Travellers know how hard it is to locate taramasalata and tzatziki - apparent staples of every Greek menu - anywhere in Athens. Londoners have wondered how much the souvla or stifado dishes in Charlotte Street are the food of Homer and Socrates rather than their Balkan neighbours.
