A Greek classic, braised octopus with short pasta.

Peas in a Pot with Fennel, Sun-dried Tomatoes and Mussels

  Peas–arakas in Greek–cooked with olive oil, tomatoes, and herbs are one of the great “Ladera” dishes. These are the dishes cooked in olive oil and they account for a great number of Lenten specialties. Most often they are one-pot stews. I have added a little twist to this classic, by combining the peas with […]

Greek Yogurt, Feta and Blue Cheese Spread

The first time I ever tasted the combination of feta, yogurt and blue cheese was many moons ago, at the first conference of the Oldways Preservation and Exchange Trust, which was held in Porto Carras, in northern Greece. I am not exactly reinventing the wheel here, just providing an easy, savory dip that you can […]
