Last night we grilled grouper, which I’ve talked about doing for weeks since the price was pretty low at the farmer’s market. The grouper was even better than I remember. It’s a really firm white fish that has a texture between fish and lobster. So good- but that’s not really what this post is about, [...]

It seems a little odd that I don’t have any post-Fourth of July recipes, but I didn’t have to cook a bit over the weekend. Last Thursday I
was able to cook and put together a meal to eat after tennis with some friends. The meal was great because I was able to get everything pre-assembled [...]

It’s always amazing to me when the simplest dishes are the really beautiful, tasty and great for entertaining. I think that a lot when I cook Mediterranean food because the ingredient list isn’t long or unusual, but the flavor combinations are amazing. I made this dip last weekend to serve as an appetizer before the [...]

This weekend we were up at Greg’s sister’s house and I had the hankering to cook Greek food. I’ve been wanting to try some recipes for a while, especially with the weather being nice and conducive to grilling out. But Saturday was a little chilly, so we made meatballs inside, which we tucked into some [...]

1/4 c peeled, seeded and chopped cucumber
2 cloves garlic, mashed to a paste with a pinch of salt
1 T fresh chopped dill

Greek Yogurt and Honey with Candied Walnut

For Valentine’s Day we had a super special dinner at Kyma, thanks to a gift card I received at Christmas. It was an amazing meal, but maybe the most memorable dish was the Greek Yogurt and Honey that Greg ordered for dessert, which I scoffed at at first. Don’t get me wrong, I love Greek [...]
Greek Shrimp with Feta
Posted in Favorites, Greek, Main Dish, Seafood, tagged Add new tag, shrimp on July 15, 2008 | 2 Comments »
At Amanda’s request I’m posting one of my new all-time favorite recipes, Greek Shrimp with Feta. This dish sounds pretty simple, but you won’t believe the flavor. There’s not a hint of brininess or saltiness from from the feta; instead you have a slightly creamy, flavorful tomato sauce. This meal is pretty [...]
