Notes about Recipes in this book

• Koulouria

  • Tinala523 on March 14, 2026

    Made these as directed but had trouble rolling them thin enough; they were more like bagels. I made a second batch, adding more water, and the dough was much more pliable and easy to work with. It's funny, there is no sugar in the dough, just the water dip, but they have a mild sweetness that is very pleasant. Made these for a Greek friend, who said they were just like the ones in Athens. Score!

• Homemade chicken gyro

  • Stephenn31 on December 07, 2025

    This was amazing. I makes fresh pita to go with it. This is my new go-to for chicken gyro

• Shrimp Mikrolimano

  • lkgrover on November 10, 2025

    Good shrimp and tomato recipe; I served for lunch with potatoes on the side.

• The not-so-classic Greek horiatiki salata

  • Stephenn31 on March 24, 2026

    I enjoyed the variety of tomatoes and the salty pop of capers and bit of pickled hot peppers. A nice change from the usual salad.

• Mixed greens salad with tangerine-olive oil dressing

  • kate_8v3dzp on April 12, 2026

    Yummmmm so much fibre and vitamin c. I used half one red cabbage, one small fennel, two oranges and one for the dressing plus one lemon, and the same number pistachios. I didn’t have much mint and oregano but had some and used less than the recipe called for. Same amount of dressing. Delicious! Still made way too much for two adults and one kid.

• Chickpea soup that emulates Diporto's legendary revithada

  • SenseiHeidi on January 21, 2026

    Made 29 January 2026. I had high hopes for this simple recipe. I feel that with the highest quality ingredients it could be memorable. For me, since I only have access to supermarket ingredients, this soup did not satisfy. I followed the recipe exactly but there was not enough flavor for me to want to make this again. Maybe if I had access to a Greek pantry?

• Spicy ouzo-shrimp pasta (Garidomakaronada)

  • lkgrover on January 09, 2026

    Good pasta sauce with shrimp & tomatoes as the primary flavors. The ouzo gives an interesting aniseed & herbal element.

• Spinach-chickpea pasta with creamy tahini

  • Stephenn31 on March 24, 2026

    Ended up a bit bland. I might have added too much cooking liquid. But it was fairly light and healthy with a big salad.

• One-pot fish fillets with Greek salad and greens

  • Stephenn31 on December 06, 2025

    A really good one pot meal. I cooked the fish fillet on top of the veggies, and then flaked it into the veggies, as opposed to serving it almost as a steamed fillet. Really good flavours.
