Feta Recipes
Spinach and chickpeas baked with Greek feta is a perfect example of a plant-based Greek recipe that speaks the language of the Mediterranean diet.

Caulifower au gratin usually calls to mind something at least remotely French! Not so with this cauliflower au gratin with feta and graviera cheeses, and with extra virgin Greek olive oil in lieu of butter. It’s so easy to make, too! The end result is hearty enough to be a main course if you’re so […]

A Greek salad can be many things, and this arugula salad is a delicious cool weather treat, especially when winter squashes are in season.

The cheeses, Greek feta, graviera and kefalotyri, […]
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. I like to use one of the most classic Greek recipes for green beans, called yiahni, which is basically a way to simmer them with tomatoes and onions, and […]
Feta-Graviera Melt is an easy and impressive appetizer or meze to serve for company or as a quick accompaniment to a light dinner. It’s really important to use good and real Greek feta for this dish, something that’s creamy and not too salty. I always add a melty yellow cheese, to, such as graviera, kasseri […]
