Avgolemono

Recipe by: Michelle Chen

This is the most popular of Greek soups. The name literally means 'egg and lemon', the two most important ingredients that produce this light and nourishing soup. Usually made with homemade chicken or fish stock, garnish this quick and easy version with fresh lemon slices.

A Greek favourite that makes everyone think you are a master chef, yet it is sooo easy to make!! I taught a Greek friend how to make sticky toffee pud, and she taught me this fabulous recipe.

Braised Lamb, Green Beans and Tomatoes

Recipe by: SCARYLIZ

This is a delicious recipe that I grew up on - a traditional Greek way to prepare lamb. Lamb and onion are browned in olive oil, then cooked with fresh green beans in a tomato sauce, lightly seasoned with salt and pepper. I've added my own touch with some fresh mint.

Inspired by my Greek mother-in-law's Kokkinisto. I decided to add clams for something different. Spoon over rice or vermicelli pasta, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, and serve with crusty bread and white wine.

Garides Saganaki

Recipe by: MURDERSHEWROTE

This is a Greek recipe for prawn saganaki which is great as a starter or meze. It is a delicious dish that I'd only tried in restaurants, but when I tried to make it at home I found that I can make it just as well. Serve with nice crusty bread to mop up all the gorgeous sauce.

Greek Peas with Tomato and Dill

Peas are normally considered a side dish, but in Greece it is common to eat a plate full of vegetables as a main. This traditional way of cooking peas is so satisfying yet healthy - not to mention easy - it will most certainly become a favourite. Serve with crusty bread and feta for the ultimate meal!

My own famous dolmades

Recipe by: Patti Moschonas

These are grape leaves, stuffed with a tantalising mixture of rice, fresh dill, mint and lemon. 'Yum' is the only one word to describe these. These can either be a main dish or a starter, depending on your appetite. Serve with good crusty bread and a Greek salad, if desired.
