Visit my Greek Pantry!
Cooking any food requires some preparation to be successful and to have fun. Here are the fundamentals of Greek cooking.
The Mediterranean way of cooking is a delightful way to enjoy the products of this blessed region.
They are products readily available in every supermarket. The lifestyle of the region is relaxed and have fun lifestyle; the food is so easy and so delicious that once you try a few recipes, you will be in love with the simplicity and the fantastic Taste. Get a Greek recipe book, and I highly recommend “Take the taste of Greece with you,” an award winner, and start experimenting.
