Authentic Greek Recipes

Try out these recipes!

I will be updating regularly with more and more recipes, so keep checking back!

Stuffed Cabbage Leaves (Lahanodolmades)

Stuffed Cabbage Leaves are traditionally made with rice and mincemeat, but can just as easily be made without the mincemeat.

Eggplant Papoutsakia

The word Papoutsakia means "Little Shoes" and is used because of the shape of the eggplants in this dish.

Spinach Pie with Home-made Filo Pastry

As well as learning to make this delicious round spinach pies, you can also learn how to make home-made filo pastry - which is used so often in Greek cooking.

Eggplant Dip (Melitzanosalata)

Mmm!! One of my favourites! Smooth and tangy.
This is tradionally made with Greek strained yoghurt but can also be made with mayonnaise instead. Try both ways and see which you prefer - with mayonnaise it has a slightly thicker, richer taste.

Galaktobouriko

A delicious, traditional Greek sweet. I prefer to eat it the day after it's been made, when it's a little firmer.

Pasta Flora Tart

This is a traditional Greek sweet, which I remember from childhood always being served with the coffee or juice whenever we went on family visits. It is more often than not baked in a square or rectangular dish, but can also be baked in a circular shape.
