Veggie Bulgur Pie with Filo
Pies are a cherished family tradition in our home - everyone has a soft spot for them! They make a great snack or packed lunch for my daughters.
Greek Beetroot Salad (Patzarosalata)
Greece is known for its tasty vegetables and beetroots are no exception.
Veggie Burger Patties
Why buy veggie burgers, with great lists of unknown ingredients, when making your own is so simple? That’s what I think anyway, since I tapped into this particular recipe.
Greek Pasta Pie - Makaronopita
Sometimes indulgence is the only way forward, and this carb fest is a real treat! Makaronopita, or Greek pasta pie, uses indulgent pastry, pasta, evaporated milk and feta cheese to ensure no stone is left unturned on your journey to the ultimate in comfort.
Mozzarella and Chorizo Peppers
As you may know by now, I’m a veggie - but the rest of my family aren’t! Although they’re happy to eat tasty veggie meals a lot of the time, they sometimes ask for meat.
Thin-battered Feta Pie - Alevropita

These spinach and feta galettes are a mouthwatering veggie breakfast, or lunch, to satisfy and satiate.

This Mediterranean-style Shakshuka was actually thought out by my husband! He is not often found cooking, but he hit on a real win with this simple Shakshuka recipe when I was too tired and busy to cook one day, back in Rhodes.
Crustless Zucchini Pie
This crustless zucchini pie is the perfect lunch for a sunny day in the garden.
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.
Spinach Tart
I like to make a good old spinach pie, a Spanakopita, but this mixes up that old favourite into something new.
Breadsticks with Sunflower Seeds
This whole wheat breadsticks recipe is what we use to keep hunger at bay in our house! Instead of a bag of crisps, we’ll nibble on a wholegrain breadstick whilst watching TV, or whilst dinner cooks in the oven.
Pull-apart Garlic Bread
Sometimes we all need an evening in front of the TV; a sofa night watching a film is sometimes the only remedy for a hard week! Whether it’s just me and my husband or the whole family snuggled up, this pull-apart garlic bread recipe is a frequently-requested.
