Seasonal vegetables "Tourlou" with cheese enclosed in homemade pastry roll

All the flavours of seasonal vegetables and some spicy Greek cheese come together in this delicious recipe! The "Tourlou" ("Briam" if aubergines are not included) vegetarian dish which is one of the most popular Summer recipes around Greece is the idea of this rolled pie. The homemade pastry is really special and you should try it out because you can use it in various recipes but of course you can replace it with store-bought shortcrust pastry which is probably the closest to the original. It is really a very tasty dish this one and it can be served as a first dish or as a main along with seasonal salad. The cheese used here (Greek "Kefalograviera") might be a small problem but if you can't find any then use a semi-hard and semi-salted but rather pungent yellow cheese, something that doesn't melt too easily

Shallow-fried breaded sole fillets served with spinach and fennel sauté

Frying has been a strict "no no" for many people for years now, for others because of health reasons and for others for fitness reasons... But frying is not always so unhealthy as long as we are careful and in moderation with it and to be honest, some things, they can't be cooked differently and to be even more honest some things are much tastier when cooked in the frying pan... Today, although, the recipe demands frying the sole fillets it happens in such a way which will not make us feel guilty about it. Shallow-frying is a better and lighter option and enough to make this delicate fish so delicious. On the other hand, instead of the customary salads or boiled greens we have a very tasty way of cooking the spinach which in Greece is very common and very popular around the country

Skillet tender pork chops with fried potato wedges scented with fresh rosemary

An easy and rather fast recipe to enjoy with the family. Cooking the pork chops in the skillet in the way the recipe suggests you'll find that they stay tender and moist all the way through. On the other hand, the chunky potato wedges are nicely crispy on the outside and tender inside and you end up with a rustic and really delicious meal
