I have a little briki that holds 4 little cups of Greek coffee.

I usually just make two cups at once, though. I like it very strong and without sugar, so I have the technique down for how I like it.

I make Greek coffee for people who like it weaker, and who like sugar. How much sugar should I put? I put 1/2 a teaspoon once and it wasn't enough for the person. Tried 1 teaspoon and they thought it tasted better.

Overall though, it is possible I am making it too strong to begin with? Any advice will be helpful!

I am curious - what goods go best with Ouzo? Traditionally, I don't actually pay attention.

From my understanding, Ouzo is traditionally enjoyed with small plates, similar to tapas, known as "mezedes" in Greece. Yet, I’m eager to hear from those who have either traveled to Greece or have an in-depth knowledge of Greek cuisine about what specific dishes you think would pair best with Ouzo. Are there specific flavors or types of dishes (seafood, meats, vegetables) that enhance the experience of sipping Ouzo?

Greek grilling advice and tips?

It's getting warm out and time to break out the grill! I am interested in how do Greek people in Greece grill? I've had so many delicious grilled foods in Greece, I am having a hard time getting the same flavors here in the United States.

I've tried my hand at a few recipes, aiming to capture that authentic taste, but I feel like there's a deeper level of technique and tradition that I'm just not hitting. From choosing the right ingredients to mastering the grill itself, I know there’s a wealth of subtleties that can turn a good dish into a great one.

Do they use certain marinades or techniques? I've watched people in Greece grill - they don't even really follow recipes.

There are some gyro shops near me in the United States and they seem to be putting a different spin on the classic dish. There are some variations. What do you guys think of the variations?

I don't recall seeing these variations in Greece, but I could be wrong. Variations such as - gyros made with different meats, like chicken, those made with Greek meatballs, souvlaki, etc.

And what do you think of putting fries in Gyros? I do see that in Greece.

What is the best Greek meze to serve for Greek Easter? I want dishes that will wow my guests and make this Easter unforgettable. I’m looking for meze that are both traditional and have that ‘wow’ factor in terms of visual appeal and taste. I’d appreciate if you could share your favorites and perhaps some personal tips or recipes that make them stand out.

Here’s what I’m considering so far, but I’d love your input:

Tzatziki - A refreshing yogurt, cucumber, and garlic dip.
Spanakopita - Hearty spinach and feta pie encased in flaky pastry.
Dolmadakia (Stuffed Grape Leaves) - A tangy and herb-infused delight.
Feta cheese. A classic - I sometimes drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano.
Olives. No meze spread is complete without olives.

What else should I put out? Or is that enough? We're having about 20 people.
