I tried making Fasolakia, a Greek green bean stew, and topped it with feta and cilantro (not traditional, I know). Thoughts?

Love this stuff, it’s called a Gyro Plate

Last summer I was in Greece and there I tried a great arugula salad. I don't remember the name of the salad, it was probably an arugula salad, but what made it different was that the arugula was blanched (I guess) to tender the leaves. Does anyone know how to do it exactly, because I tried to make it, but apparently it's either just blanching and there is a different preparation technology, or I'm making a mistake somewhere?

Yasou everyone!

My grandmother passed away 9 years ago and unfortunately she didn’t teach my mother or I many Greek recipes, I’ve had to recreate her old dishes from the internet and adjust to suit my memory.

This meal is stuck in my brain and I have asked my grandmothers sister but she doesn’t remember.

It was same spaghetti we use for pastitsio maybe a thinner version. I remember it had fresh celery, onion and tomato sautéed till it was melting and lots of oil as well.

I will be recreating from my imagination but I feel like I am missing something.

Please comment below if you know this dish 💗

So I am looking for guidance. I have not found a recipe to make the lentil soup I desire. I only had it twice, once in a monastery and then at Mrs Kontilonis’ dinner table. Both times served at room temperature. The lentils were whole, not cooked down. The oil sat above the broth as if it had not been cooked at all. What I had at the monastery was served a bread and was one of the best meals I have ever had.

Any one have any guidance?

Ok so I am involved in a production of Mamma Mia and for our pot luck I would like to do something greek, but also something that will feed a lot of ppl. Spanakopita came to mind first, but i wanna hear yall's thoughts!

I had this delicious orzo pasta on Antiparos two months ago and I still can't get over it. Can't find a recipe - is there anyone who knows how to make something similar?😊

I ate this dessert in lesvoz island, it was like a croissant filled with cream. It was pretty delicious but i couldn't find the name of it. Thanks in advancr

Not the most authentic, I added pretzels with the cookies

Hi everyone, my family and I are doing a dinner where we each get a different country and a course and have to bring that to share with everyone. We got Greece and apero and drink. I've been going through some cookbooks like Yiayia and Vefa's Kitchen but I haven't found what I'm looking for. What would you say people snack on when with friends before dinner time? And what would they be drinking? (Both alcoholic and non) It doesn't seem that cocktails are common, am I right? Any ideas appreciated!! Thanks!

We do a friendly baking competition each year, and this years theme is “Christmas Traditions around the World”.

Malamakarona look so amazing, and I’d love to attempt to make them as genuine and authentic as possible!

Does anyone have any tips, ideas, or even a good recipe that you use when you make these?

Hi everyone, do you know if it ok to eat Tsoureki bread while pregnant? If you do not know that answer do you know of pregnant women who eat it with no issue? Specifically curious about the spices Mastic and Mahleb/Mahlepi?

Thank you

Hi all,

I think there's a special/colloquial word for ordering this? Metrio is usually too sweet, but sketos is no good for me. So do I ask for half a spoon? Or is it medium pros sketos? I'm sure once I was told there's a better way to order. It wasn't λιγο.

Sketo, ???, metrio, glyko, varoglyko.

Thanks!
