A Taste of Greece: A Comforting Menu with a Twist

This menu is a tribute to traditional Greek dishes, with a little twist to keep things exciting. If you love homemade, rustic flavors, this feast is for you!

🥗 The Starter: Spanakotyropita with Homemade Fyllo

Flaky, golden, and packed with spinach, feta, and fresh herbs, this homemade-fyllo pie is pure comfort. Crisp on the outside, creamy inside—it’s the perfect start to a Greek meal.

🥘 The Main Dish: Veal Youvetsi with a Twist

Slow-cooked veal in a rich tomato sauce, but instead of orzo, chickpeas add heartiness while eggs bring a creamy surprise. A creative take on a Greek favorite that’s deeply flavorful and satisfying.

🍫 The Sweet Finale: Mosaiko

A childhood favorite for many, this no-bake chocolate biscuit delight, rich yet light, chilled to perfection. A nostalgic Greek treat that melts in your mouth with every bite!

This menu is all about honoring tradition while adding a personal touch. Whether you’ve made these dishes before or are trying them for the first time, they bring the essence of Greek home cooking to your table.

Spetzofai: Greek Sausage and Pepper Stew (weird name, greeek taste!)

[Updated 26/02/2025]

Spetzofai is a rustic Greek dish made with country-style sausage, peppers, eggplants and tomatoes, simmered together in olive oil. 
This one-pot meal is perfect for cooler weather, offering a balance of savory, spicy, and tangy flavors. 
A recipe coming from the mountain of the Centaurus, Mt. Pelion (famous in Greek mythology for its half-men, half-horses), it can be enjoyed as a main dish or as a starter.
