Mini savoury tiganites (pancakes) with beetroot dip and served with soft cheese dip

This is really a fun recipe! Ideal to serve it as a first dish, an appetizer or on a buffet table along with other finger-food dishes and it is suitable for all seasons. The original recipe asks for the special Greek white cheese "Katiki" from Domokos area in Central Greece. It is a soft (spreadable) white cheese made of goat and/or goat and ewe milk. It is popular because of its low levels in salt and fat and it is suitable to use it on salads, various dips, in savoury and sweet cheese fillings for pies etc. ** The best option to replace Katiki cheese is to use very soft, in texture, Feta mixed with a bit of yoghurt and beat until creamy or to use softened goat's cheese mixed with some milk

Pork fillet stuffed with sun-dried tomatoes and Anthotyro cheese

Tender and juicy pork fillet stuffed with a couple of really tasty ingredients that the Greek cuisine honours very often! It is an all-seasons recipe this one and I believe that you will really enjoy it. Because of the fillet, the cooking time is not as long as with other meats so not too much hassle for you. The original recipe demands fresh rosemary, which I find too strong in taste and aroma and that's why I usually prefer fresh thyme or even better, fresh oregano which are more subtle. But if you prefer rosemary, it would be better if you turn it into powder and use it carefully. This dish can be served along with various vegetables but sautéed peas and carrots or steamed green beans I think are most suitable. It also goes nicely with white rice pilaf or boiled potatoes drizzled with lemon & olive oil dressing

Bucatini with slowly cooked rich meat sauce scented with mild spices

Who can resist a dish full of tasty pasta poured with a luscious meat sauce on top? Not many people I think and it is one of our favourite dishes at home. We love pasta and I have a special reference to the thick macaroni and I think this recipe tastes always better with such a kind of pasta! Biased? Maybe...:-) This meat sauce is inspired, in a way, from the Italian bolognese (cooked by an excellent cook with roots back to Italy) but at the same time it is fully adjusted to the habits of cooking we follow in Greece when it comes to such kind of recipes. It is a really family-friendly recipe and the type of comfort-food suitable for all seasons!

The slightly thick beer and honey syrup gives extra flavour to the wrapped cheese and that semi-sweet taste. Good quality of Feta cheese is the secret here which though you can replace with Manouri cheese
