Same here! That sounds like a fabulous idea!

I have head some conflicting stories. Some blame the wars and conflicts they were involved in. Others simply say the lifestyle they had was unsustainable. Some also believe that it kind of got destroyed from within, as outside influences started to affect the culture. It is really hard to know...

I need some tips for making Greek fries. My family tends to soak the potatoes in water for about ten minutes after slicing the fries. I haven’t done that, and something is off about my fries. Do you think this really makes a difference? My fries are soggy, so it could be something else, or this...

I love to research Greek mythology. Because it is Valentine's Day, the day of love, I thought I would research Eros, which, from what I understand, is the Greek God of love (and kind of similar in concept to the Roman cupid). Here's some info I found from the Eros wikipedia entry: Eros appears...

I want to make gyros at home. I love traditional gyros and know how to do those. However, when I was in Greece, I bumped into some places that did some different things with their gyros and I am curious if these combinations are common. I am not sure if I was just in a touristy area where...

One thing that I noticed is that every place in Greece seems to have slight differences in cuisines. I've been researching Santorini and there are some differences to the rest of the Greece. They don't seem to use feta cheese as often (at least that I can tell) and they have a lot of...

I know that the beach scene in Santorini is very different than the rest of Greece because of how the beaches are situated. Do you know if any of these beaches have facilities, or maybe a nearby taverna? I am trying to plan my trip. The sand colors on Santorini beaches are unique and I feel I...

I know that corn is a bit out of season now, but I thought I'd ask a bit in advance. How do you make the Greek street corn? I love it, and would love to replicate it at home. How about roast it, brush it with olive oil/butter, maybe some oregano, garlic, feta cheese? I do like hot red pepper -...

Is making koulouri a simple matter of making a regular bread dough and then forming it into rings? I loooove koulouri when I go to Greece, and I am unfortunately not always able to get to Greece. I need a way to make this at home. I love the type with the sesame seeds, and I also love the...
