Greek Breakfasts on the Go

I’m looking for some tasty Greek breakfast options that are quick and easy to grab on the go. I usually don’t have much time in the mornings, but I want something more exciting than the usual coffee and pastry. I know there are plenty of delicious options like koulouri, those sesame-covered bread rings you see everywhere, but I’m curious about other choices too.

Are there any other traditional or lesser-known Greek breakfast foods that are perfect for busy mornings? I will be traveling to Greece soon, staying n vacation apartments. Looking for options - I am not a huge breakfast eater.

Help Me Build a Greek Pantry

I’d like to build a Greek-inspired pantry with all the essential ingredients so I’m always ready to make something delicious. So far, I’ve stocked up on olive oil and oregano, but I know there’s so much more to explore.

Can anyone recommend the must-have staples for a Greek pantry? I’m thinking about spices, herbs, pantry items like beans or grains, and any specialty sauces or ingredients. Also, are there any particular brands you’d recommend for quality? I want to make sure I get the real deal!

Looking forward to your tips and advice. I am not the best at planning and I cook Greek all the time.

Tips for Eating Seafood in Greece

I’m a huge seafood lover and I’ve always been impressed by how Greeks in Greece prepare their seafood – simple, fresh, and flavorful! I’m heading to Greece soon and want to make the most of the seafood scene while I’m there. The only problem is, I’m not too familiar with the types of fish commonly served in Greece. I’ve heard of octopus and calamari, but beyond that, I’m a bit lost when it comes to knowing which fish to try.

What are some must-try fish and seafood dishes in Greece? Are there certain types that are especially good in specific regions? Also, any tips on how they’re prepared or what to look out for on the menu would be really helpful.

Lastly, if anyone has suggestions for great seafood tavernas or hidden spots, I’d love to hear them.

Favorite Greek Dishes Using Lamb

I'm a big fan of Greek cuisine, especially when it comes to lamb, but I'm looking to expand my knowledge and try some new recipes. I love the classic lamb souvlaki and roasted lamb with potatoes, and I absolutely loved both. But I know that there are a lot of dishes out there. What are you favorites?

I’m interested in anything from stews to grilled options, and would also love to hear about regional specialties if you know any. Any tips on cooking techniques or seasoning that bring out the best flavors in lamb would be super helpful too!

Making Kalitsounia?

Anyone here know how to make kalitsounia who can explain it? I have a scribbled, old recipe a friend, whose family is from Crete, gave me. It kind of doesn't make sense. I want something a little more professional so I can wrap my mind around it.

Does anyone have a good, well written recipe and maybe even some tips on pulling it off?
