Greek Kitchen
Real Greek food isn't complicated. It's rustic and simple — most dishes are one-pot or one-pan meals. Fresh vegetables, quality olive oil, herbs, and seasoned with lemon or tomato.
These recipes come from 30 years of cooking and learning in Greece, from yiayias who never measured anything, friends who shared family secrets, chefs, and home cooks who welcomed me into their kitchens. They became the foundation of my 10-year catering business. Now I want to share them with you.

A Note on Olive Oil
Every recipe here calls for good olive oil — and plenty of it. Greeks don't measure olive oil in tablespoons. For authentic results, use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil and pour generously.
