An original idea to make a different use of your pesto is to make it into a dip. This recipe of Greek Yoghurt, Feta and Pesto makes a delicious Dip to serve as a snack with Greek pita chips or even mixed in your pasta.
This Upside Down Pear and Almond Honey Cake is unique as it’s made with Greek Ewe’s and Goat Milk Butter which adds an amazing taste to the cake. The honey added on top of the pears caramelizes and infuses its taste in the pears, making them heavenly.
These baked Greek pita chips make a lovely accompaniment to any dip or spread or served with a topping instead of making bruschetta, even with jam and graviera cheese, they are amazing!
Peach compote is a simple and delicious dessert, made of whole or pieces of fruit cooked in sugar syrup.
These Vegetable fritters are so easy to make and a good way to use some leftover veggies in your fridge.
“Chaniotiko Boureki”. Chaniotiko is a casserrole dish from Chania, Crete. Boureki is usually something made with phyllo which encloses a filling. Do not confuse it with the Turkish borek, as this is something totally different, although in some cases phyllo is also used.
Loquat Jam is easy to make, with a sweet and tart taste, slightly floral from the fragrant geraniums and absolutely delicious.
Glyko Portokali (orange fruit preserve) is one of the most popular Greek preserves. The traditional way of making “glyko portokali”, is by using the peels making them into rolls whereas this one uses the whole fruit.
Orzo salad is a type of pasta salad made with orzo, a small, rice-shaped pasta. It is often mixed with ingredients such as vegetables, herbs, cheese, charcuterie, etc., and a vinaigrette dressing.
