Tyrokafteri (Htipiti) Dip

Vlita Horta Recipe: Traditional Greek Greens with Tomato and Feta
I am sharing a new vlita dish – accompanied by boiled potatoes, zucchini, topped with tomato puree. Of course there’s extra virgin olive oil and the kicker – crumbled Feta on top.
Shrimp Saganaki II
Shrimp Saganaki. Almost every fish taverna in Greece will include this in their menu but this version remains the most memorable and flavourful.
Tyropitari from Evia
There’s a long, narrow island that runs parrallel to coast of Greece that stretches from just south of Volos to about 60 minutes north of Athens. That island is Evia and today I am going to show you how to make one of their specialties, Tyropitari.
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.
Skopelitiki Pita
A spiral cheese pie from the island of Skopelos (part of the Sporades island chain) but what makes them unique is that these are fried.
Spinach Salad with Radicchio & Feta
Radicchio is in the chicory family, can be eaten raw in salads but I’ve seen wedges of it grilled as well. It grows best in Spring and Fall and most grocery stores carry it.
Beside this being a tasty salad, it’s also an attractive one with the green and purple contrasts. Some crumbled feta, walnuts and you’ll find this salad refreshing and filling.
Chickpea Salad with Beets & Feta
This salad is easy – basically dump and mix. Like any recipe, you can adjust the amounts in the ingredients.
