  • Creamy chicken phyllo pie

    Creamy chicken phyllo pie, aka Kotopita me besamel. There’s no better way to use a supermarket rotisserie chicken! (You can roast or poach your own chicken, too.) So impressive, yet so much easier to make than it looks. Put this on your list of recipes to try in the new year, it won’t disappoint!
  • Kremmidopita

    Caramelized Onion + Feta Pie, aka Kremmidopita. A super easy yogurt and olive oil phyllo encases caramelized onions, feta, and cheese. See my story highlights for how to make the pie - including how to roll the phyllo.
  • Soutzoukopita

    Soutzoukopita / σουτζουκόπιτα / Sausage pie⚡️Crispy layers of phyllo encase the most savory filling of soutzouki and cheese. Soutzouki is a richly spiced cured meat, made of veal or beef.
  • Loquat jam

    Loquat jam! Loquats, aka mousmoula, were a favorite of my pappou, so perhaps that’s how I even know what they are!
  • Fennel frond and feta frittata

    Fennel frond and feta frittata 💚 Say that three times fast! We went for a walk yesterday and I found wild fennel growing right around the block, here in the middle of #LA
  • Kolokythopita

    Kolokythopita almiri, a classic Greek zucchini, feta and herb pie. The filling is light and savory and if you like spanakopita you’re sure to love this, too.
  • Prasopita

    Prasopita, or leek pie. One of my favorite pites! I made the filling and hand-rolled phyllo with my son, Aris... sure to be the first of many cooking projects in the coming weeks.
