Litsa's Tip
If your feta is too salty rinse in cool water gently, place in a deep container and add milk to cover feta. Your cheese will become more mellow. You can keep the container in the refrigerator.

I'd like to take a moment to express my appreciation to all of you that responded to my news letter.

My Canadian friends really enjoy my recipes but the thrill is when my Greek friends love my newsletters.You have many questions and here are the answers. The picture by the sea was taken in Sitia Crete last year, simply breath taking!

Why the empty container in the olive picture, always have a container for the olive stones.
Many asked what is a dako ? Dako is a Rusk of barley, these little rusks are a specialty from the island of Crete and I love them as an appetizer or meze.You will love this recipe.
