Not that we have anything against feta; you'll find it below. But there's more to Greek food than spanakopita (although that's represented, too). Greece, and especially all of its idyllic islands, is surrounded by water, meaning you get simple, roasted and grilled fish in addition to the more expected things like lamb and plump, slippery olives.

I got a little inarticulate when confronted with this Greek mac and cheese. All I could say to myself was: Looks good. Looks really, really good. Um, do I have any feta? More

You'll have to excuse the silly snapshot. Our feta fry dinner (yes, dinner) was thrown together and quickly devoured at approximately 10 p.m. following a very long day. We usually appreciate somewhat more balanced Quick and Easy Weeknight Meals, but as a once-in-awhile treat, a plateful of fries, sweet potatoes, and feta cheese really hit the spot. More

Many of you are giving something up for Lent – some of you for the first time. If you're looking for some guidance or inspiration, Greece might be a good place to start. More

I've always loved dolmas - they're such a healthy and delicious finger food to take to a picnic or to add to a collection of mezedhes spread around the table. In the past, I used to just grab a plastic container of pre-made dolmas at the grocery store. One day I looked at them and realized three things; one, these are pretty expensive. Two, I could probably make my own rather easily at a much lower cost. Three, homemade ones probably taste much better. I was right, and I've been making my own dolmas ever since. More

Last week I made a list of small bite meals around the world. One item on this list was meze, which is a collection of finger foods. A meze is a big part of the dining experience in Eastern Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Arab countries. The word "meze" means "taste" and/or "snack." The concept is very similar to the tapas of Spain, but with different ingredients.

Q: I have always loved, loved, loved the dill dressing that Greek restaurants serve with salads and souvlakis, but I have never ever had luck with making it in my own kitchen.

Does this stuff just come in giant chemical-laced tubs, or is it possible to make a good (and natural!) approximation at home?

Do you have any lamb left over from Easter dinner? Did you roast a big leg and now have a lot of delicious tender meat sitting in the fridge? Well, we have just the recipe for the leftovers. More

This soup is a riff on the Greek avgolemono: a delicious concoction of beaten eggs and lemon juice, whisked into broth and cooked just enough to thicken. We borrowed the egg and lemon motif, and we also added spinach and orzo.

This soup has one other curious feature. It really is a pasta and a soup in one -- a two'fer. More
