Sage tea is one of the most delicious and therapeutic Greek herbal teas. In this Greek recipe, I transform a cup of tea into something with which to infuse a pot of soup! Enjoy this contemporary take on a Mediterranean Diet recipe and…sip away!
Here’s a great, easy dip that’s a take on traditional tzatziki in that it has a Greek yogurt base. To find some of the artisinal Greek products you’ll need to make this, visit my online shop here, where you’ll discover a host of lovingly curated Greek ingredients.
Another great Greek salad recipe, especially in the winter. The mastiha and pistachios go especially well together. Try using a high-polyphenol Greek olive oil in this for an added layer of flavour and a beautiful peppery finish.
On any festive table, rich foods call out for a counterbalance, and this delicious Greek salad with pleasantly bitter endive and green apples is almost refreshing enough to be a palate cleanser. The Aegina pistachios and an amazing olive oil from Crete, give this Greek recipe a super healthy Mediterranean aura!
Forget Graham crackers in this delicious and light Greek recipe for cheesecake! I like to use traditional rusks, aka paximadia, made with ancient g rains such as barley or Zea wheat as my base. The yogurt gives this Greek recipe for cheesecake extra lightness and the spoon sweets make for an exotic, delicious topping.

OK, so we don’t’ really have cranberries in Greece, but that has never stopped me from making a Greek-inspired cranberry sauce, replete with those amazing umami-like Greek fried figs from Northern Evvoia, all the warm spices, and a drizzling of two really special ingredients: Petimezi, or grape molasses, and honey vinegar or balsamic, whichever you […]
Here’s a Greek recipe for Greek salad that isn’t what you think! No tomatoes, for one. This Greek salad calls for all the wonderful flavors of Fall, with apples and carrots in the front and center. I love to embellish it with some texture in the form of Aegina pistachios and to add to that […]
I am always looking out for new ways to serve Greece’s favorite beans, so love to serve classic Greek giant beans, aka gigantes (GHEE-ghan-des), grown in Feneos, in the western highlands of the Peloponnese, in a dish that echoes my Greek-American heritage, with pumpkin-pistachio–feta pesto. And, yes, those are Greek pistachios and they’re pretty amazing!
