Spinach & Feta “Gratin”
My visit to Greece this past May consisted of two parts: the first part was spent attending the Sani Gourmet Festival and the second was with family and friends in Thessaloniki. I stayed at my uncle’s house in Elaiones, a suburb that sits overlooking Thessaloniki on one side and nearby Panorama – still lording high […]

Mussels With Ouzo (Μυδια Ουζατα)
I know you’ve been waiting for some new recipes to appear on this site and with me just coming back from a wonderful (albeit brief) Spring visit to Greece, I bring you a quick and easy mussels dish that will take you to a Greek taverna and keep me at bay until my proper vacation […]
Ribeye Steaks With Blue Cheese Sauce
Yes, I’m back from Greece and have lots of fabulous stories, recipes and photos to share with you. I was craving steak upon my return and I splurged on some ribeye steaks.

Nea Folia is near the intersection of Kassandrou and St. Sophia and then you have to locate its actual location which is at the corner of Aristomenous & Kassandrou. Get to the area and park […]
Psarotaverna: To Fresko Psari
When in Thessaloniki and one is looking for fish and seafood, locals will often direct you towards Kalamaria and Nea Krini for such fare. I’m telling you to do the exact opposite by traveling west of the city center and head to the Eleftherio-Kordelio neighborhood. Kordelio was founded in 1924 by refugees who came from […]
Paradosiako (Παραδοσιακο)
Yesterday morning I reached out to another one of my many friends who reside here in Thessaloniki. Greece’s second largest city has a population of about 1 1/2 million but it still has the feel of a large “horio” or town and I mean this in a good way. Practically everywhere you go you will […]
PAOK…PAOKarra mou!
Last night I attended my first ever Greek professional soccer game in the “Tomba” (tomb) area of Thessaloniki. I was hesitant about going because of some the hooliganism I’ve seen on TV but my friend Yianni assured me we would be in a safe part of the stadium and that I may only be “offended” […]
