Alevropita
One of the regions known for its variety of phyllo pies is Epirus, located in northwestern Greece. Epirotes are also known for making excellent phyllo pies but sometimes life gets in the way and sometimes a quick fix is needed to feed a family/friends/kids,
Enter Alevropita (translated as Flour Pie) that’s quick and assembled less than the time it takes your oven to pre-heat.
Strawberry Mousse
Strawberries are in season and while I am happy to eat them raw, they make for great desserts as well, like this Strawberry Mousse. You’ll also need some sugar, vanilla, and some whipped cream. A garnish of a half strawberry and you have a pretty (and tasty) little dessert.
Citrus Olive Oil Cake
Greeks like using olive oil in a lot of our cooking, including desserts. A fruity olive oil works well with this cake and the result is always moist.

Icebox Cake & Caramel Topping
This dessert is one of many “biscotto glyko” recipes and here in North American it falls under the category of “icebox cake”.
Scrambled Eggs with Greek Yogurt
Today I’m sharing another way to prepare scrambled eggs, with the addition of yogurt, Greek style that is.
Kaimaki Ice Cream
The first time I had Kaimaki ice cream was back in the 90’s in Thessaloniki, Greece. This northern Greek city is second in population but tops when it comes to food.
Lasagna Bolognese
I am still on “team bechamel” when it comes to lasagnas as opposed to ricotta. The bechamel allows one to pre-make a lasagna, make/freeze/bake or enjoy a moist lasagna the next day without it drying out.
Mushroom Lasagna
So, why make a mushroom lasagna? It’s a mushroom lover’s dream, it’s filling, a great vegetarian dish and not that hard to make.
Lotus Biscoff Ice Cream
The first time I had these cookies was on flight. I don’t remember which airline (likely in Europe) but it was a snack that was given with coffee.
