Sous Vide Pork Gyro
When in Greece, one of the first things I’ll eat is a pork gyro wrapped in a pita. Slices of pork shoulder area seasoned/marinated then stack on a vertical rod then slow roasted on a vertical rotisserie. It’s juicy, flavourful, filling but…hard to duplicate at home.
Poached Fish with Oil & Lemon Sauce
Poaching fish is another method to cook and enjoy fish. A rich sauce made of reduced poaching liquid, lemon, extra virgin olive, salt and pepper and some herbs.
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.
Romaine Salad with Scallions & Dill
Traditionally this salad would be served Spring time and especially for Easter. It’s a salad of finely chopped romaine lettuce, thinly sliced scallions and chopped fresh dill.

Taramokeftedes
A few years ago I made Taramokeftedes for a Greek Supper Club. The tarama was the base for making pseudo meatballs along with bread and lots of onion and herbs.
These turned out remarkably well and they are a great offering to help break up the monotony of eating the usual Lenten fare.
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.

I am a big fan of sausages and when I go to Greece in the summer, it’s a joy to have an array available from the market. The choices vary, depending upon where in Greece you are but let’s do a run-down of Greek sausages.
