Recipes

  • Spanakopita

    Just a classic spanakopita with lots of layers of flaky phyllo.
  • Greek lemon chicken and potatoes

    When life gives you lemons, make Greek lemon chicken and potatoes. This version uses drumsticks and smaller cut potatoes, so quick enough for a weeknight.
  • Zucchini, pea, shrimp and feta fettuccine with fresh mint and dill

    Zucchini, pea, shrimp and feta fettuccine with fresh mint and dill. This was something I made out of scraps lying in the fridge and it turned out to be so good. Love when that happens!
  • Feta cheese pies

    Yummy, yummy feta cheese pies with a rustic Greek yogurt phyllo. Impossible to have just one!
  • Fig and olive oil spelt muffins

    Fig and olive oil spelt muffins. #tbt to when figs were falling into our garden from our neighbor's tree! 
  • Ouzo and fennel shrimp saganaki

    Ouzo and fennel shrimp saganaki. Last night's leftovers for lunch! 
  • Orange blossom and ricotta tart

    Orange blossom and ricotta tart - a not-too-sweet yummy treat made with sheep milk ricotta from @bellwetherfarms and orange blossom water.
  • Yiouvarlakia

    Yiouvarlakia are porcupine meatballs in a luscious egg-lemon sauce (avgolemono). It’s finally “cold” enough in LA to really crave dishes like these!
  • Bulgur, pomegranate, walnut and mint salad

    Bulgur, pomegranate, walnut and mint salad. The wintery flavors and little pomegranate jewels make it perfect for Christmas!
  • Chocolate tahini toast

    Chocolate tahini toast with banana and cinnamon. My favorite breakfast or morning snack! 
  • Pan-fried lamb chops

    Pan-fried lamb chops with olive oil, lemon, oregano. All I can think of when I see this is “You lika the juice?” I LOVE the juice, almost more than the lamb itself!
  • Biftekia me patates sto fourno

    Biftekia me patates sto fourno. Comfort food! Biftekia are a basically a cross between a burger and a meatball. At their best they’re light, fluffy and moist.
