Featured Recipes
Ras-El-Hanout Chicken Traybake
Rigatoni Campagnolo Country-Style
The name of the dish refers probably to the traditional ingredients used, which were very common in the countryside of Italy and in particular the south or south/center, such as Campania, Sicily, or even Abruzzo. Those ingredients are fresh fennel sausages, tomato sauce, and bell peppers.
Cacio e Pepe Chicken Bites
These cacio e pepe chicken bites feature the classic bold, cheesy and peppery flavors of cacio e pepe. Using chicken thighs ensures a juicy and flavorful bite, while baking ensures a crispy, golden crust without the need for frying.
Pomegranate Ginger Beer Mocktail
This one leans on the rich flavor of pomegranate juice, which has red wine like qualities! I shake it up with some brown sugar cinnamon syrup and fresh orange juice before topping with just a splash of spicy ginger beer for bubbles.
Whipped Feta With Lemon And Fresh Dill
Rich, creamy feta cheese whipped with smooth cream cheese, fresh dill, zesty lemon juice, garlic, and green onions. This refreshing dip combines tangy, savory flavors with a light, velvety texture. Perfect as an appetizer, sandwich spread, or warm pita bread, fresh vegetables, and grilled meats.
Ladolemono
A classic Greek sauce combining rich extra-virgin olive oil with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Light, tangy, and beautifully aromatic, this simple Mediterranean favorite adds a refreshing citrus flavor to grilled fish, chicken, roasted vegetables, and fresh salads.
Greek Salad (Traditional Horiatiki)
In Greece, Horiatiki or Greek village salad, is served most often from early spring through summer and up until mid fall. It’s truly the best use of the season’s produce, like crunchy cucumbers, sweet tomatoes, and earthy green bell peppers.
Greek Potato Salad
Greek Potato Salad is an interesting variation on traditional potato salad. Instead of mayonnaise, we're using olive oil, lemon juice, feta cheese, and oregano. And the zucchini makes it a little different from the usual Greek salad.
Mediterranean Pasta Salad
This Mediterranean Pasta Salad recipe is quick and easy to make, it’s tossed with a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette, and it’s always a crowd-pleaser!
Pasta With Artichokes And Olives
This Mediterranean pasta is simple and boasts a lot of flavor thanks to olives and artichokes. Ready in 30 minutes, the pasta is tossed in a cherry tomato sauce cooked with garlic and olive oil, making it creamy and so delicious.
Bruschetta Al Pomodoro
A traditional Italian appetizer featuring crisp, garlic-rubbed grilled bread topped with juicy, vine-ripened tomatoes, fresh basil, and extra-virgin olive oil. Light, refreshing, and bursting with Mediterranean flavors, Bruschetta Al Pomodoro celebrates the beauty of simple, wholesome ingredients.
Spicy Shrimp Puttanesca
Puttanesca, the famous Neapolitan tomato sauce that’s briny and bold from olives, garlic, capers and anchovies, is pretty spectacular as is. This recipe leans into those intense flavors and adds shrimp for a complete dish that’s big on flavor and easy to pull off on a weeknight.
