This is a great dough to work with and the fillings are really limitless. Mount Pelion, which took its name from the mythical king Peleus, father of Achilles, is considered one of the most beautiful mountains in Greece. The local cuisine specializes in charcuterie, and a hearty stew called, spentzofáï. These little breads resemble a Mount, and would be a perfect accompaniment to either the charcuterie or a stew.

This is a summer salad. Yes, it can be made anytime of the year, but when the cucumbers and tomatoes are in season, it’s spectacular. It’s a nice picnic or BBQ side, too. And as always, it’s very flexible. But, no matter what options you choose, it’s delicious. Continue reading

Eggplant is a favorite around The Goddess’s abode. It’s one of those blank canvas-types of foods, like zucchini and white bread. Stuffed eggplant is a one-dish wonder and this one is particularly interesting, with addition of chorizo sausage, mint, currants and feta cheese. Continue reading
