Greek recipes are all about sharing. Breaking bread with friends and family over long lunches of char-grilled seafood, slow-cooked legs of lamb and zingy Greek salads is the Mediterranean way, after all. Greek food is vibrant, varied and ideal for sharing. Shower you friends and family in some beloved Greek-style comfort when next you entertain, and cook a Greek feast worthy of the gods.
For some hands-on Hellenic feasting ideas, our favourite Greek dishes deliver classic Med flavours with a few modern twists to keep things interesting. We have Greek snacks such as salmon keftedes, saganaki and grilled haloumi, taramasalata and Kafeneion’s yellow split pea dip, as well as traditional recipes for festive occasions like Tsoureki (Greek Easter bread).
Classic Greek mains include moussaka, chicken souvlaki (with a generous dollop of tzatziki), grilled calamari salad, and stuffed eggplant. Of course, we have Greek lamb recipes, too — think lamb cutlets and lamb meatballs. Plus, you’ll find a couple of Greek salads that belong with any Greek spread.
