Vegan Greek Recipes

Nistisima cooking is vegan cooking under another name, developed over centuries without ever using the word. Ladera, pulses, greens and phyllo pies made with oil.

Greek cooking accommodates most dietary requirements without special effort, largely because the Orthodox fasting calendar required it for roughly half the year. Dishes developed to meet those restrictions are not diminished versions of anything, they are the tradition itself.

Recipes here include Gigantes plaki, Melitzanosalata, Patates lemonates, Horta vrasta, Ellinikos kafes 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.
