Pasta Salad without Mayo
This pasta salad is such a simple dish that it barely needs a recipe; that’s part of the reason I love to make it! The second reason is that it gets some nice veggies into the kids’ diet without any fuss - they love pasta in every form.
Egg Salad with Carrots
As the only vegetarian in the family (and I don’t just mean out of my husband and daughters - I mean every family member on both sides!) it sometimes seems like I can be an extra burden when it comes to catering.
Cheese Croquettes
Cheese croquettes are a very common meze, and are found in most tavernas in Greece - especially in the islands, like Rhodes, where I am from! Homemade cheese croquettes are just amazing, though - they’re well worth making at home and not just saving.
Ham and Cheese Pie
This ham and cheese pie is a homemade version of something you often find in Greek bakeries and pastry shops.
Custard and Jelly Dessert
This custard jelly dessert is a real classic sweet that often appears at our family gatherings in Greece.
Authentic Greek Tzatziki
Tzatziki is probably one of those Greek recipes that needs no introduction! This famous dip is a creamy and refreshing mixture of thick Greek yoghurt, cucumber, garlic and olive oil.
Healthy Banana Oat Pancakes
I don’t know about you, but sometimes food goes down a lot better when it seems like a ‘treat’! These healthy banana oat pancakes are a real ‘treat’ - but nutritionally they’re good for you too, so it’s a win-win! Banana pancakes were always a weekend.
Greek Tomato and Feta Fritters
These Greek tomato and feta fritters, or ‘ntomatokeftedes’ in Greek, are a real favourite of mine.
