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.
Greek Meatloaf with Potatoes
Easy, delicious comfort food — seasoned ground beef with mint and lemon, roasted alongside golden potatoes. One pan, 10 minutes prep.
Greek Lemon Chicken with Potatoes
The most-requested dish from Carol's catering days — impossibly simple, impossibly delicious. You cannot add too much lemon.
Lahano Dolmades (Cabbage Rolls)
Tender cabbage leaves wrapped around herbed meat and rice, finished with creamy egg-lemon sauce. Classic Greek comfort food.
Kokkinisto (Tomato Braised Meat)
One of the most classic Greek comfort foods — meat slowly braised in tomato with cinnamon and allspice until fall-apart tender.
Papoutsakia (Stuffed Eggplant)
Roasted eggplant halves stuffed with aromatic meat sauce and topped with creamy bechamel. Moussaka's easier, equally delicious cousin.
Pastitsio (Greek Baked Pasta)
Greece's answer to lasagna — layers of penne pasta, aromatic meat sauce, and creamy bechamel.
Pork with Dried Fruit
A festive Northern Greek dish of tender braised meat with apricots, figs, and prunes. Perfect for winter gatherings.
Stuffed Zucchini with Egg-Lemon Sauce
Tender zucchini shells filled with herbed meat and rice, finished with creamy avgolemono sauce. A beloved Greek summer dish.
Yiouvetsi (Greek Pasta with Braised Meat)
The quintessential Greek pasta dish — orzo or egg noodles cooked directly in tomato-braised meat sauce, absorbing every bit of flavor.
Souvlaki (Greek Grilled Skewers)
Tender marinated meat charred over flames — pork, chicken, or lamb, each with its own traditional marinade. The taste of every Greek summer.
Moussaka
Layers of fried potato, silky eggplant, aromatic meat sauce, and creamy bechamel. Greece's most famous casserole, made the traditional way.
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.
