This Greek-style spinach pie was absolutely delicious! The cheese mixture of ricotta and feta was moist and cheesy, which gave the pie lots of flavors; sauteed mushrooms, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes were a great combination. The phyllo came out golden brown and crispy. This pie can be served as a lighter main dish or an elegant appetizer.

The flavor was great, I used mixed greens, also added a clove of minced garlic, and it was delicious. Next time I will add some sun-dried tomatoes, that would be even better!

The tomato sauce worked deliciously well with the shrimp, olives and feta cheese. Used spaghetti instead of fettuccine, green olives stuffed with pimento instead of black olives. It was a very delightful dish, indeed.

Braided Greek Easter bread enriched with butter, eggs, and fresh orange for a festive, aromatic loaf. The glossy orange-almond glaze creates a stunning, shiny chestnut finish perfect for holiday celebrations.

Turkish baklava layered with cinnamon-and-clove spiced walnuts between dozens of buttered phyllo sheets, then drenched in fragrant clove syrup. Crisp, flaky, and honey-sweet, cut into the classic diamond pieces.

These delicious Greek biscuits were so interesting to make, I wasn't sure whether the biscuit would hold together or not, but the result was great. The biscuits were all puffed beautifully and golden-brown. The layer of filling made with feta, roasted bell pepper, and black olives was super flavorful. We only made half of the recipe, and we got 6 biscuits. They disappeared real fast...

This refreshing yet delicious salad is very quick and easy to prepare. It can be kept in the refrigerator for a few days.

This Baklava recipe is classic Greek baklava. It can be sweet as a dessert, or savory as an appetizer. Phyllo pastry gives a crispy texture, using both golden delicious and Granny Smith apples makes the filling sweet, slightly sour, and very tasty. The Walnut layer adds another nuttiness, crunchiness, and richness. A delicious and light dessert that you can serve on any occasion.

Baklava with shatter-crisp phyllo, ground walnuts and almonds, and honey syrup steeped with lemon and orange slices. The classic Greek pastry done properly, in shimmering diamond-cut squares.

I had this Greek pastry for the first time in a restaurant and I was not overly thrilled with it. So when I ran across this recipe and saw how easy is was to make I decided to try it. I liked my version much better, which will no doubt cause an uproar. So to anyone who has tried this dessert I want you to make this one and let me know if you like it, maybe it tastes nothing like it is suppose to.
