I make no secret of the fact that I’m not the world’s best cook!

Luckily for me most traditional Greek dishes are easy to make and forgiving of my mistakes…

Quantities are not critical, and most of the recipes presented here can be made in many different ways, with any number of local variations. If you don’t have a particular ingredient to hand, don’t be afraid to experiment – who knows, you may come up with something new and delicious! (If you do, be sure to write and let me know!)

I’ve included a selection of my favourites – simple, tasty and wholesome treats that never fail to please.

Oh, and of course, I couldn't resist writing a story to accompany the recipes...

Enjoy!
