    What is more traditional? Dolmades (grape leaves) or lahanodolmades?

    Both are traditional and follow the seasons, cabbage in the winter, vine leaves in the summer, when they are fresh and tender (around May). Greek dishes based on cabbage can be found more often in Northern Greece, eg. lahanorizo = Greek cabbage with rice, lahania = pork with cabbage - a recipe...

    Are there any Greek fall time desserts?

    Moustalevria and moustokouloura are the absolute Greek fall desserts - it's a dance of the seasons :) They both use the grape must that is plenty after the harvest. It's us Greeks celebrating seasonality and wealth of our nature!

    Is vegan spanakopita possible?

    Yes of course it is! Actually the tastiest I have ever tried is hortopita with a mix of greens like chards, sorrel, chervil, spring onions, fennel and leeks. Unbelievable taste!
