No-Knead Foccacia

If you love bread (like me), you’re going to love this foccacia recipe. This no-knead recipe will become one of your favourites. I like a thick foccacia so i can cut in half and make a sandwich with it or to toast it.

Tyrokafteri (Htipiti) Dip

Spicy Greek Feta Dip or Tirokafteri (Τυροκαυτερή). The name alone should have your mouth drooling!

Risotto Like Gemista

Today’s recipe is a risotto that will take just like Gemista. Yes! I served this as one of my courses at a recent Greek Supper Club and it was a hit. The risotto get’s the “gemista” flavour from roasting and pureeing tomatoes and peppers. Clever!

Spanakorizo With Shrimp

Spanakorizo – a classic Greek dish which is literally translated as spinach-rice. There are subtle variances to the dish, depending on the household and my twist is to top it/marry it with shrimp.

Grilled Liver with Pickled Onions

This dish is offal good – grilled liver with pickled onions. You can use lamb, pork or beef/veal liver. The liver gets a quick marinade in olive oil, salt and dried Greek oregano then it gets quickly grilled over high heat.

Lemon Shrimp Linguine

This pasta dish has been in my back pocket of recipes for over a decade. I can cook it on a weeknight, weekend, serve to house guests or catered events. It’s easy, quick, delicious!

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.
