Yes they do. For some reason they like to eat non baked cheesecake more so than the baked one.

It looks wonderful let us know how it came out. Take photos too!

You forgot the most important thing….. raki with your list of food.

I will agree with Luana, the should be finely chopped nuts. You don’t need to reduce anything in the recipe or add anything for that matter. Just start off with a small amount of nuts in your dough. See how it goes and you want to add a bit more go for it. Remember kourambie is a cookie that...

Hi Mastichas09, This my friend is the 1000dollar question, which also applies to the skordalia recipe, Bread or potato. I would say try them both and see which one you prefer. I preferred the one with the bread and then I tasted tarama with neither bread or potato, loooooooooooooooved the...

Pasta flora is such a yummy dessert to make. And even though many tend to shy away from it because they get intimidated from the process of making the dough, they shouldn’t. The dough is a cookie-like shortbread crust. And yes you are right, the dough should not be overworked. This way you...

I have never heard of stringing the orange peel to make it. I am so intrigued. If you do find the recipe please share with us. You can make orange spoon sweet with out needing to string the peel. My grandmother use to take the peel and julienne it. What I usually do is peel the orange in one...

We would call it tiganopsomo, and we would eat it with ridiculous amounts of feta. I did have a cousin though who loved to sprinkle huge amounts of sugar.

Hi dimi_pat I’m so sorry to hear about your baklava. It really is a yummy dessert that deserves a second chance to prove its self (?). But in the meanwhile, i suggest you try revani, a beautiful yellow cake that is soaked with honey syrup. It’s a delicious and easy cake to make.

Hi blopez34 The cookie you are describing is the Melomakarono. It is a cookie made with sugar, oil, flour, spices, cognac, and orange juice. Some even put a percentage of semolina flour as well. It is baked and then soaked into a honey syrup. Traditionally it is a cookie made around Christmas...

Unfortunately the octopus you find in Greek octopus taste different than the American ones. With that said, the trick for tender octopus is to precook it in the oven. Place the octopus body and tentacles in a large pan or dutch oven. Add aromatics, wine, olive oil. Cover the pot tightly with a...

Yes you can absolutely use it in baklava. You can add it in the syrup after you take the syrup off the heat. Another ways is to put a few tear drops into the food processor with your nuts.

I love how you say u don’t do measurements and do it by feel. That is how everyone should cook.

What a wonderful idea. If you shape them to be a bit bigger than usual then the grill keftedakia shouldn’t have an issue on the gril.

Yes, I can see your dilemma, but wouldn’t the same apply for the tzatziki as well. I say make them both throw in there a melitzanosalata or a tarama dip and place the bowls on top of ice therefore no spoilage will take place.

Corfu is such a beautiful island. It has great beaches, beautiful countryside and very nice architecture. But the food, the food is amazing. Corfu’s cuisine has been influenced by the Venetian, since they were under Venetian rule for a long time. But the influence on its cuisine didn’t stop...

I too am curious to why your Karthopita -walnut cake crumbled. Many things can cause a karithopita to come out crumbly. However, it’s usually an issue of too much flour, too little fat, or or under mixing of the sugar and eggs (at least 8-10 min). Also some other problems include overbaking...

Hi cubrinj, to answer your question, the type of rice used does play a role in making rice pudding. In Greece we use a type of rice called γλασέ or as we know it in America white short grain rice. It is starchier, stickier, and shorter. This type of rice releases it starches without the need...

The Both these methods of extracting the water from the cucumber is great. The objective here is the extract as much of the moisture, from the cucumber so it won’t dilute the rich thick greek yogurt. On the other hand you don’t want your greek yogurt to be to to thick either. But you can play...

Breakfast is definitely not as popular as mesimeriano (lunch) is in Greece. With that being said, we do like to eat breakfast. Some popular options are: Koulouri thesalonikis Tiropita Spanakopita Auta tiganita (fried eggs) Omlete Tsoureki Keik (cake) Bread with honey Or marmalade
