My almost daily forays to the farmers’ markets of Athens was the inspiration for this easy Greek salad with green beans, onions and hazelnuts. During the planning for the 4th season of My Greek Table recipes, I aimed to showcase as many delicious plant-based recipes as possible. Plant-based recipes that use Mediterranean diet ingredients like […]
Baklava is one of the most iconic Greek sweets; Greek yogurt is one of the most iconic Greek diet ingredients. In this recipe from season 4 of My Greek Table, I combine them both to create a delicious and easy snack perfect for those of us who want to enjoy the Mediterranean diet on the […]
This recipe for roasted corn ribs with Greek honey is fun and something that makes a great Mediterranean diet snack or side dish, even to a festive meal like Thanksgiving. It’s a great way to create something healthy to serve with dips, for example. In fact, you might want to try this with my spicy […]
Creamed green beans are a classic on holiday tables like Thanksgiving. Baked green beans with a feta melt add an obviously Greek touch to this dish.

This delicious vegan moussaka recipe will delight the most diehard traditionalists, […]

Feta-Graviera Melt is an easy and impressive appetizer or meze to serve for company or as a quick accompaniment to a light dinner.
