After sharing my recipes online for more than 13 years, creating this cookbook has truly been a special journey for me. Every recipe inside has been tested many times in my own kitchen and shared with family, friends, students, blog readers — and now with all of you around the world.
Many readers ask me: “Which recipes should I try first?” So here are the ones I personally recommend starting with...
Skordalia is made with potatoes, garlic, olive oil, and a touch of vinegar or lemon juice for a tangy kick. It's rich, smooth, and full of flavor, making it the ideal accompaniment to the crispy, golden fried cod. A true comfort food that brings the spirit of Greece right to your table!
Whether you're celebrating Greek Independence Day with family or simply enjoying a hearty Mediterranean meal, Bakaliaros Skordalia is the perfect dish to honor this historical occasion.
Check out my recipes for both Bakaliaros and Skordalia on the blog and make sure to add this delicious duo to your March 25th menu!
Stay tuned, as I am working on my first eBook with authentic greek recipes that I will release soon.
Do not forget to leave me your comments!
A popular Greek summer dish, "papoutsakia" means "little shoes" due to their unique shape. Similar to Authentic, traditional recipe of Moussaka but served individually, this dish combines tender eggplant, rich meat sauce, and a creamy béchamel topping—perfect for a flavorful dinner with friends.

A traditional Greek dish enjoyed on March 25th, featuring
golden-fried cod served with a bold garlic-potato puree Skordalia (Greek Garlic-Potato Puree). This simplified
version uses fresh cod for ease and quick preparation.
A creamy, garlicky potato puree, this traditional Greek side dish is rich in olive oil and garlic. It pairs wonderfully with Crispy Greek Cod (Bakaliaros Skordalia) (fried cod with garlic-potato puree), a dish especially enjoyed on Greece's National Day, March 25th.
