FOR YOUR COOKBOOK
Among all, this is is the absolute best Greek appetizer/dip and maybe the easiest one to prepare. I used Kalamata olives which are fleshy and have a rich almost black color. They combine a fruity taste with a wine flavor mostly because they are cured in red vinegar. I chose a pitted variety and that… Continue Reading

This may as well be one of the most delicious appetizers/dips: with chunks of red pepper that melt in your mouth, and a vivid red color, this dip is simply irresistible. It’s a great idea for almost all gatherings, from a cocktail party to an appetizer for a less formal get together, or even just… Continue Reading
I’ve had this recipe for many, many years and never decided to make it because of its not-so-appealing name. I will not reveal the name until the very end of this post because you, just like I was, will be tempted to just forget about it. But, the truth of the matter is, that it… Continue Reading
The strong and salty taste of Feta Cheese along with the hot chili pepper makes this an amazing appetizer/dip which I like to serve with cold and refreshing vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, even celery. Instead of using a fresh chili pepper (they didn’t have them at the store!), I used Chili Pepper Paste which… Continue Reading
Yet another amazing Greek appetizer/dip made easier than ever! This recipe guarantees a smoky flavor as it requires cooking the eggplant on your gas range for about 20 minutes (it does create a little mess, but it’s definitely worth it!). If you don’t have a gas burner, broil whole eggplants in the oven, placed on… Continue Reading
Tzatziki is not really a dip, nor a sauce. It is an appetizer. It is meant to be rich and thick and served with other Greek appetizers (such as grilled octopus, fried zucchini), along with some ouzo, and few good friends by the beach (making you dream?). It’s also a great compliment to any grilled… Continue Reading
I wanted some vegetables for tonight’s grilled chicken, but I only had cherry tomatoes in the fridge and half a pepper, so that wasn’t going to amount to much. I also saw that I had a mix of Tri Color Baby Potatoes, and realized that that was going to be more than enough! I spread… Continue Reading
Fresh wild salmon is still available and will be for a few more weeks. So, if you’re looking for a new recipe to try, now is the time! I love this recipe because (a) my house doesn’t smell like fish afterwards and (b) I don’t have to scrub a pan clean! I like a generous… Continue Reading
Everyone loves pasta, but with this sauce you will have a totally new dish. Make ahead and boil your favorite pasta (tastes best with thick spaghetti) to have dinner ready in a few minutes! I like to make a large quantity and use the leftover, a couple of days later. INGREDIENTS 8 large… Continue Reading
