A delicious recipe out of the numerous similar dishes the Greek cuisine has to offer! A great meze dish to enjoy along with a chilled glass of ouzo! If served with seasonal wild greens it becomes a more full meal. Try the same recipe with smelt or whitebait, both are delicious and they are the type of fish that don't need any preparation because they can be eaten whole

Delicious 3-cheese and ham lasagna with a (literally) sweet tomato sauce
Lasagna always is a popular meal in most households, it is for all seasons and it is ideal for big families or when you want to have extras for another day since it very easily can be stored in the freezer. The today's version admittedly is quite rich but it is so delicious since it combines in perfect balance the sweet with the salty flavours, so it is really worth the trouble and the calories to try it out

Refreshing shrimps cocktail - A retro dish that never fails!
For years it used to be the star, the "must", the "trendy" appetizer in restaurants and households when some more formal dinner parties occurred but then it became old-fashioned (because some "big shot" chefs decided so...) and people forgot all about it... Lately, though, I notice that more and more often this delicious appetizer appears again in restaurant menus but also at buffet parties at home and I'm pleased because it is worth its fame! Retro dishes like this should never disappear because they don't lack at all in taste or looks and they can easily compete with other "gourmet" dishes which some try to convince us that we should have at our tables...
