Skillet-cooked mellow potatoes, onions and mixed peppers in ouzo-scented light tomato sauce

This is one of those recipes that we love to eat in Greece during the warm months because they are easy and fast to prepare without lacking in taste at all even without any meat involved! A great Summer dish which, if you adjust the quantities of the ingredients accordingly, it can be served as a really filling main vegetarian meal or as it is to accompany sautéed chicken or white fish

Greek-style refreshing trifle with crispy phyllo and strawberry cream

A delicious, light and so refreshing dessert based on the classic English trifle but with a Greek twist! Crispy phyllo sheets replace the biscuits or cake giving a nice texture and fresh spearmint adds a special aroma in this easy dessert

Crispy fresh anchovies fritters

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
