Greek Yogurt Recipes

Real Greek yogurt is strained, thick enough to stand a spoon in, and used as often in savoury cooking as at breakfast.

Greek cooking uses a narrow pantry very well. A handful of ingredients appear again and again, in different combinations and cooked in different ways, and knowing what each one does is more useful than memorising individual recipes.

Dishes built on it include Tzatziki, Giaourtlou, Pantzarosalata, Giaourti me meli kai karydia, Yiaourtopita and Souvlaki kotopoulo me giaourti.

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.
