I am serving a lot of Greek foods at a barbecue I will be hosting next month. I am starting to plan the menu now. There will be on the grill- lamb chops, chicken souvlaki, and loukaniko. There will also be Greek salad, fasolakia, and other miscellaneous dishes (I am not sure what yet). I like to have some dips and spreads laid out, both to accompany the grill foods, and to serve with bread.

Any advice? Definitely tzatziki, but was thinking of having something else, like kopanisti- but the issue with that is I am not sure I want to leave that outside.

Yes, I can see your dilemma, but wouldn’t the same apply for the tzatziki as well. I say make them both throw in there a melitzanosalata or a tarama dip and place the bowls on top of ice therefore no spoilage will take place.

Skordalia is always a hit and easy to prepare

I would suggest Melitzanosalata but not the one velvet spread but the more rustic version called "Agioritiki". The eggplants are grilled the red peppers also. You chop everything with a knife, add parsley, olive oil, vinegar, and of course garlic.

Not sure if you already had that BBQ but I would save the following:

- Melizanosalata
- Tzatziki
- Spicy Feta Dip (don't know the greek name)
- Fava Dip

Are there pumpkins in Greek cooking?

I have some pumpkins I want to cook with... I would love to experiment with using it in a Greek dish.

I know there is a type of pita that involves pumpkin. I have a recipe somewhere, so I do plan to try that.

Is there anything else you guys can think of? There has to be more!

Food Tour of Greece?

I want to take a food tour of Greece, and I only really have time for one destination. Where do you suggest I go? Some possibilities:

- Stay in Athens the whole time
- Crete
- Ikaria
- Thessaloniki

Really, any place in Greece would be good I imagine! Is there a site that has actual guided tours? I know I could just go somewhere and eat and explore on my own, but I want to meet locals, maybe even cook with some people.

Greek Dishes that Use Hot Pepper?

I love hot pepper. I am having some buddies over to watch football over the weekend and I want to serve some Greek foods that are on the spicier side. What do you suggest?

I know the roasted red pepper and feta dip has hot pepper. I can't think of anything else. Of course I could also grill and add some hot pepper to the Greek marinade I use. It tastes pretty good. Can you think of anything else?

How do you make your cabbage salad?

I love Greek cabbage salad. My family makes it very simply with cabbage and a ladolemono. I add feta cheese because, why not LOL.

I have had other versions with other veggies and a different seasoning - like one version I had blended cabbage with carrot and had an apple cider vinegar dressing.

How do you guys do it?

Favorite Greek desserts?

Do you guys have a favorite Greek dessert? Here is my list, in no particular order:

- Diples

- Kourabedies
- Milopita
