Hopefully, at least once in our lifetime, we get to take a trip that transforms our tastebuds and reinforces that we are all students of the world. Many years ago, my husband and I had that experience on our budget honeymoon to Greece. While the blue skies and ancient ruins transport you back in time - to this day, it's still the food that has made the greatest impact.
To celebrate that long ago trip, check out this collection
of Greek-inspired classics on our website, andshecookstoo.com:
- Greek Sausages - full of olive oil, lemon and fresh herbs
- Greek Lima Bean Dip - made with butter beans and loaded with flavor
- Marinated Mezze - Olives, Artichokes & Mushrooms
- Marinated Yogurt Cheese - great tasting, easy to prep
- Skordalia - Greek Potato Dip- a garlic-heavy pureed Greek potato dip
- Pastichio - a piping hot Greek Lasagna with wafts of cinnamon, seasoned lamb and creamy topping
- Roasted Leg of Lamb - juicy lamb roasted with garlic slices and a sweet, herbal glaze
- Baklava - traditionally Greek with scents of cinnamon, honey, nuts and lemon all in buttery layers
