Making frozen yogurt ice cream is such a good way to indulge in a healthy dessert. You can make this with an ice cream maker if you want, but you don't actually need one.

Avgolemono is a classic sauce that can be added to pretty much everything but taste the best on dolmadakia! The recipe is pretty simple, but takes a bit of practice to get the consistency right.

I was invited to a Greek wedding this summer, but unfortunately I am unable to go because my work schedule is just a bit too hectic. The couple has a registry, which makes me wonder if I should still get a gift even if I'm not able to go to the wedding. Does anyone know what the expectation or...

I'm going to a Greek wedding very soon and I definitely need to learn a couple of moves. I know that there are so many group dances, and it's pretty much impossible that I'll be able to learn all of them. So I think that it's a good idea that I learn at least one classic dance that will...

Many people don't think to rent a bike to see the city, but I think it's one of the best things you can do since Thessaloniki is right on the water and you will get some amazing views. Unlike different cities nearby, like Kavala, Thessaloniki doesn't have that many hills and is very easy to get...

These lemon potatoes are loved all over the world, especially in Greece! They are a staple of Greek cuisine and can be paired with pretty much every Greek dish, but especially meat. They are slow roasted and drenched in lemon and olive oil to get a very crispy texture and tangy flavor. Usually...

Beef broth is a great thing to add to many different Greek recipes such as yorvalakia, dolmadakia and all types of soups. Even though you can buy beef broth at the store, it's always better to make your own if you have more time. It's also cheaper and very environmentally friendly! I always...
