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!

A long time ago i found myself in the city of Kastoria and visited a few places for dinner. I remember that grilled meat dish i ate. It was shaped like a mini sausage and tasted a bit like a burger patty but better and more finger shaped. Any idea what this was. Google hasn't helped me until now

I just got back from Crete and had some amazing fresh mizithra cheese while there. I want to recreate a dish I had while there, Dakos (rusk bread with shaved tomatoes and mizithra). I can find hard mizithra that you can grate to buy online but what I had in Crete was different more like the consistency of ricotta.

Είναι μια αλμυρή τάρτα με καφέ μπαχαρικά και σουσάμι. Σχηματίζεται σε μικρό κύκλο. Ξέρει κανείς εδώ το όνομα; Σας ευχαριστώ εκ των προτέρων.

Tzatziki goes with everything. I make s.k. Every week and pair with different protein

Aside from pasticchio and macaronia me kima, what are some lesser know traditional handmade Greek pasta shapes and dishes?

Fellow Greeks, expats and travelers, I’m looking to put together a list of traditional Greek dishes that are in danger of disappearing into obscurity. Dishes your family made that are mostly found in the home and family run tavernas. Dishes that can only be found in your village or island. Dishes that helped feed families during tough times.

Tell me about your dish, who makes it, where you had it, what memories you associate with it…

Times are changing and this generation of yiayiades won’t be around forever.

I use to eat at Yia Yia Mary's in Houston- since they've closed I have gone to so many Greek resturaunt and cannot find the same thing. Is there another name for this dish? They called it a Cretan Style Clay Pot. It had like mussels, white fish, tomato, and some other things Thank you! .

Does anyone have any recommendations for where to buy this cheese in Georgia (U.S.)? I checked Buford Highway Farmer's market (I thought they would surely have it, but the closest I could find was halloumi).

The top 5 things (maybe the only things) I don't enjoy eating are Greek Mainstays. Going to Greece and prefer not to order: Fish Lamb Sheep cheese Goat cheese Raw tomatoes Are there ANY local dishes left for me to try? Would really Appreciate advice and not sarcasm!

I’ve heard pork shoulder, neck, or belly. The only thing I’m sure of is that pork tenderloin should not be used
