I have my family's baklava recipe. They usually make it in a huge round pan.

Can I use this same recipe to make the version where it's all rolled, or do I need to do something different?

My plan was to figure out how to actually make the rolls, and then stuff it with the filling the way my family makes it, then make the syrup the way my family does (orange and cinnamon mostly).

My gut is that yes, this is possible.

I found a video on how to make the rolls. I needed to see it visually:

 
This video is very helpful. Do you know that I have never done baklava in this shape before? I might try it this year, it looks easy.
 

Best Greek Foods to Serve at a Halloween Party

My friends tease me that I always serve Greek food, no matter the party. Of course! Everyone loves the Greek food I make and why not?!

Anyway, I am having a Halloween party and I want to start planning from now. What food should I serve?

I’m looking for ideas on the best Greek foods that would be perfect for a festive and slightly spooky celebration. I’d love to serve dishes that are not only delicious but also visually appealing, fitting the Halloween theme with bold colors, interesting shapes, or fun presentation ideas.

I thought maybe stick to "harvest" type flavors like apple and pumpkin, in addition to serving the typical stuff I usually do, like spanakopita.

Ikaria Blue Zone Cuisine?

I’ve been reading about the Blue Zones, and Ikaria’s longevity and lifestyle really caught my attention, especially their approach to food and diet. I’m curious to learn more about the specific foods and dishes that are common in Ikaria’s Blue Zone cuisine. I know their diet plays a big role in their health and long life, but I’d love to dive deeper into what makes it so special.

What are some typical Ikarian meals or ingredients that stand out? Are there any traditional recipes or unique cooking techniques that are worth trying at home? I’m particularly interested in learning about plant-based dishes, how they use local herbs, and any tips on incorporating their dietary principles into everyday meals.

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.

Quick Greek Desserts to Make?

I’ve been really into Greek food lately, and I’m looking for some advice on quick and easy Greek desserts to make at home. I’m not much of a baker, so something simple would be ideal. I’ve heard about things like loukoumades (Greek honey puffs) and baklava, but those seem a bit too complicated for a weeknight.

Are there any other traditional Greek desserts that are easy to whip up? I’m thinking something that doesn’t take too much time, but still tastes amazing. Maybe something with yogurt, honey, or nuts? I’m open to anything that doesn’t require too many ingredients or fancy techniques.

Any suggestions for desserts that can be made in under 30 minutes? Appreciate any tips or recipes you’ve got!

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?
