Dolmades: Delicious vineleaves wrapped around herb-infused rice and beef
Spanakopita: Spinach pies with a touch of creamy, salty feta all wrapped up in pastry.
Tzatziki: This is the accompaniment to many Greek dishes. A classic Greek yoghurt infused with garlic, cucumber and herbs. Perfect for dipping those dolmades and pies into!
Imam Bialdi: this delicious roasted eggplant dish came to Greece with the refugees returning from the east. Topped with feta and an incredible Mediterranean sweet and sour sauce.
Portokalopita: An all time favourite for many Greeks, this sticky, soft orange pie is made from phyllo pastry, oranges and cinnamon. If you can make this you'll never be without friends.
