These are great tips! I am hesitant about the acid because when the tomatoes are fresh and the juices puddle at the bottom, that seems to have enough acid for my tastes, especially when mixed with the other flavors. But I did notice that when the tomatoes aren't as fresh, the salad could benefit...

Summer is (sadly) behind us and now I am starting to experiment with some foods that seem more appropriate for this time of year. Since I am getting more comfortable working with phyllo I thought I would try pita with squash. I found this recipe a little bit ago...

These are all some great suggestions, thank you so much! I love the idea of walking around Exarcheia and checking out the other suggestions, as well. Thanks again for your input.

I got turned onto this salad recently and I realize that it's such a nice change of pace from the salads I usually make. I love how it doesn't use lettuce because I don't always seem to have it on hand. Here is the combination I like for mine. How do you guys like making it? - tomatoes -...

I did end up cooking that recipe - it was pretty good but I know what you mean @GreekGirlCooks ... it had a texture I wasn't expecting. It was still good, though - everyone loved it!

I used frozen... I took it out f the freezer and defrosted it on the countertop. Do you think that had something to do with it?

I am going to a dinner party where the hostess is gluten free. I thought I would try making this and bring it to her house. What do you guys think of it? https://www.worldwidegreeks.com/threads/do-you-have-tips-for-working-with-phyllo.2819/ I have made regular moussaka with gluten, so I think...

I have been experimenting with Greek cooking for a few years now and I didn't have the guts to start trying to work with phyllo until recently - I tried to make baklava. I had all kinds of problems and I am hoping you guys have some tips to help me get the hang of it better. Here's a list of the...

If you were looking to get away from the heat of the city, Aegina is the perfect island to go to. It is a pretty quick boat ride from Piraeus and you can explore both ancient ruins and remote villages. The island is pretty big so I recommend you get a car or ATV/motorcycle. The island has...

This is not an abnormal site to see in Greece, just a group of friends enjoying themselves and sharing their talents with others. Bravo to these men on the beautiful island of Kefalonia!

Santorini has some of the best Greek cuisine! Ever since the tourism industry has been booming, chefs from all over the world have been visiting, opening up restaurants, and collaborating with Greek shifts. In my opinion, this is the island where you can get the most diverse and elevated...

I never see people talking about Marathonisi Islet and I don't know why! The islet is right across from Laganas Beach and is not inhabited by any locals. Its simply a beautiful piece of untouched nature that is great for a day trip.

Hercules is probably one of the most famous Greek figures, having a famous Disney movie after his story. As most Greek mythology stories, his starts from a dark place, being unwanted by his family. The Oracle provided him with 12 labors that he needed to defeat. This video goes over all of them!

Chestnuts are a super popular Greek snack that is usually eaten plain or with salt. Chestnuts are also used in a number of sweet and savory recipes, such as stifado. This recipe uses fresh chestnuts and sugar to make caramelized chestnuts that are sweet and sticky on the outside and soft on the...

Crepes are not a traditional part of Greek cuisine, but they are very popular all around Greece. I always like to order mine with bananas, nutella, and some ice cream on top. It's pretty tricky to make these at home, but with a bit of practice you'll nail it. Here is a great recipe that you can use.

Amazing! I'm planning a day trip there since I can't seem to find affordable hotels so late in the summer. My advice is to book early

Santorini had a huge production of tomatoes, which was so big that they even have an industrial tomato museum that is open to the public. Santorini no longer exports as much tomato paste as it used to, I'm assuming because it became one of the most popular tourist hot spots in the entire world...

Athens has some great nightlife!! There are so many options to choose from, and it really depends on what you're looking for. My personal favourites are rooftop bars that overlook the Parthenon, you can find most of these in Thissio. But many local Athenians would say that these spots are very...
