No-Cook Greek Recipes

Technique in Greek home cooking tends to be simple and unhurried. There is very little last-minute work, very few sauces made to order, and a great deal of food that improves for sitting around. Most of the skill is in judgement rather than in knife work.

Recipes using this method include Tzatziki, Horiatiki salata, Dakos, Moungra, Soutzoukos and Mahalepi.

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.
