Greek

🇬🇷

Spanakopita

A Greek pie of spinach, feta, and herbs layered in thin, crackly phyllo pastry and baked crisp. Shatteringly flaky outside, savory and moist within. With shop-bought phyllo it is an easy vegetarian treat to make at home.

🇬🇷

Gyros

A Greek wrap of marinated pork or chicken grilled until crisp-edged, piled into a soft pita with tzatziki, tomato, onion, and even fries. At home, thinly sliced meat seared in a pan makes it quick and easy.

🇬🇷

Moussaka

Roasted eggplant and potato layered with a spiced meat sauce and topped with a silky bechamel, baked until golden — Greece's iconic casserole. Like lasagna, but the cinnamon-scented sauce and creamy bechamel give it a distinctly Greek depth.

🇬🇷

Souvlaki (Grilled Skewers)

Greece's classic street and home food: meat marinated in lemon, oregano, and garlic, skewered and grilled. Wrap it in pita with tzatziki — once it's marinated, grilling takes just 10 minutes.

🇬🇷

Tzatziki (Yogurt-Cucumber Dip)

A cool, tangy Greek yogurt dip of strained yogurt with cucumber, garlic, olive oil, and herbs. No cooking and ready in 10 minutes — scoop with pita and vegetables, or spoon over kebabs and grilled meat. Squeeze the cucumber dry and it's foolproof.

🇬🇷

Greek Salad (Horiatiki)

The traditional Greek salad (horiatiki) — ripe tomato, cucumber, red onion, and olives topped with a slab of feta, drizzled with olive oil and plenty of oregano. No lettuce; simple ingredients, Mediterranean at its best.
