Pork Souvlaki with Tzatziki by John SpottiswoodIt wasn't until I went to Greece that I tasted pork souvlaki (kebab). I'd had lamb souvlaki at greek restaurants and festivals in the US, but never pork, While the pork is not quite as flavorful as lamb, it is healthy and so easy to make from a pork tenderloin or loin roast. In addition to the tzataki, we also served this with… |

Spanakopita (Spinach Pie) by Nancy MiyasakiI love spanakopita, but it's too much work. This is a great way to make spanakopita for a crowd. And it's really yummy, too! Just remember the filo has to be defrosted overnight or for 5 hours before assembling. |

Halloumi Cheese Appetizer by Julie ReihlHalloumi cheese is a Greek grilling cheese and it is unique in nature in that it maintains its shape during the frying or grilling process and doesn’t melt as regular types of cheeses do. It normally is made with a mix of sheep and goat’s milk, but sometimes you can find a brand that has cow’s milk added. The texture is firm and the… |

For instance, the original recipe calls for pimentos, but I find them redundent as they add nothing to the flavor and little to the appearence. Since they're spendy anyway, I skip them altogether or replace them with finely diced kalamata olives to add to the Greek… |

Milly's Greek Tomatoes by Milly BossertA refreshing Mediteranian twist to serve sliced tomatoes. If possible, use fresh herbs. Increase measurement amounts if you use fresh herbs. For an Italian flair, use fresh mozerella cheese in place of the crumbled feta. "Bravisimo" |
