Greek Comfort Food

The slow, heavy, wintry end of the repertoire. Baked pasta, stews, and anything with bechamel on top.

A curated set rather than an automatic one. These are dishes that belong together on a table, or that answer the same question, and the grouping is editorial rather than taxonomic.

It includes Mousakas, Pastitsio, Kotosoupa avgolemono, Gigantes plaki, Gyros and Gemista.

Every recipe on Kalliopi's Kitchen carries the dish's Greek name and a pronunciation, its region where that is meaningful, ingredient quantities in both metric and imperial, and an honest note on what commonly goes wrong. Nutrition figures are calculated estimates and are labelled as such.
