I love to make bougatsa. It’s similar to baklava because they’re both made with phyllo, but this one has custard inside and powdered sugar on top. I believe its from the northern part of Greece, at least that’s what my husband says. I attached a picture of the bougatsa I ate in Thessaloniki.

My favorite are kourabiedes. They melt in your mouth! These are a lot like a traditional shortbread but the Greek version has a more intense "melt in your mouth" quality to it.

One of the things I love most about Greek honey is its versatility. You can use it in so many different ways in the kitchen. I've drizzled it over Greek yogurt for breakfast, mixed it into salad dressings for a touch of sweetness, and even used it as a glaze for roasted vegetables. The depth of flavor it adds to dishes is truly remarkable.
But perhaps my favorite way to use Greek honey is in baking. It adds a wonderful depth of flavor to cakes, cookies, and pastries. I recently made a batch of baklava using Greek honey, and it was a game-changer. The honey soaked into the layers of phyllo dough, creating a sweet and sticky treat that was absolutely irresistible.
I go out of my way to buy it - if I can't find it locally, I get it online. When I go to Greece, I get some in Greece, too.
