12 Greek Sweets

I’ve put together here a list of popular and tasty Greek sweets. Just click on the links to go to the recipes.

This is probably one of the best-known sweets from this area of the world and quite rightly so, in my opinion! You should be able to obtain the sheets of filo pastry where you live – it’s available in most parts of the world, I believe.

Old ladies from high Athens society used to sit in the tea and coffee houses eating this rich walnut cake as an accompaniment to their tea and gossip. It is delicious accompanied by whipped cream! The thing to be careful with is for it to be neither too dry nor too syrupy.

I love these pies! They have the sweet, juicy taste of the pumpkin and the delicious filo pastry. I personally eat them with cream, but then I eat cream with just about everything! This recipe tells you how to make the filo pastry yourself.

There are many types of halva, especially in the middle eastern countries. My own particular favourite is from Constantinople in Turkey, but obviously I can’t put the recipe for that in a blog with authentic Greek recipes! In Greece we have Macedonian Halva from northern Greece – a hard halva – but the manufacturers keep the recipe a secret. We also have Halva tis Rinas (Rina’s Halva) and that is the recipe that follows. Ideally it is served with some whipped cream on top, but that is optional.

It’s common practice in Greece if you visit someone during the day or early evening, to be offered a spoon sweet, or ‘gliko koutaliou’. This is a sweet made from fruit and kept in a jar, to be served on sweet dish (preferrable glass) whenever someone comes. All types of fruit are used, but this particular recipe is for orange. It’s really easy to make and is a delightful sweet to eat.

A delicious, refreshing pie for the hot summer months! It can also be served warm, but I much prefer it cold. It can also be served with ice cream. Mmmm!

This is a really, really simple sweet to prepare – but so delicious! Quince is one of my favourite fruits and when it’s baked and served with yoghurt and honey…. Well, just try it for yourself! The yoghurt should be Greek strained yoghurt and the honey should preferrably be Greek as well.

My mother had this recipe since she was a young girl and it was popular in the north of Greece at that time. It’s more of an accompaniment to tea or coffee rather than a sweet at the end of a meal as other apple pies are. Of course, you can eat it with cream (I do!) and it has a nice ’squidgy’ apple filling and soft dough.

This is a very simple, tasty little sweet. You can have it to accompany your coffee or tea. Nice and easy to make, too!

This is a traditional Greek sweet, which I remember from childhood always being served with the coffee or juice whenever we went on family visits. It is more often than not baked in a square or rectangular dish, but can also be baked in a circular shape, as you can see from the photo.
The fruit in the recipe here is quince – for the simple reason that it is my favourite! – but other fruit can also be used, most notably sweetened grapes in syrup.

Delicious sweet, similar in some ways to British custard pie (but much tastier!) with a tang of orange.

These cookies are a tasty accompaniment for your coffee or tea. They have the distinctive taste of must – which is taken from the pressed grapes before it is made into wine – and a hint of cinnamon. You can make them either soft or crispy, depending on your preference.

Eat and Enjoy!

Easy Irish Stew – Luscious Lamb for Lonely Lads Looking for Lovely Lasses

This was originally posted last March, but since I don’t have a new video to show today, I decided to rerun this great stew recipe in anticipation of St. Patrick’s Day. Enjoy!

Cafeteria Chic – Beef and Rice Stuffed Bell Peppers… a Work in Progress

The last time I saw stuffed bell peppers, they were sitting in a steam table in a hospital cafeteria. I didn’t get them, but it was tempting. I really love the flavor profile of stuffed bell peppers,…

Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breasts

If you like Spanakopita (Greek spinach pie) you will love this chicken! Spinach pie filling stuffed inside a chicken breast, baked to perfection, oh my! This is one of my experiments gone better than…

Pickle Your Cocktails

Pickled things have been going strong on the trend-o-meter for a while, and now they are hitting the bar, going a few steps beyond the dirty martini. Grub Street has been a tireless picklespotter, noting that New York City’s The Breslin is serving “off-the-menu pickle backs” (a shot of pickle juice to go with whisky) and Chicago’s The Drawing Room is making a Chicago Dog Caipirinha, made with cachaca, sport peppers, and a celery-salt rim (there are no actual hot dogs involved).

Also spotted at 10 Downing Food & Wine in New York City, where a cocktail called the Pickle is made by muddling dill and cucumbers with salt and simple syrup; and in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where the Black Forest Inn makes a Krautini with sauerkraut juice, Steinhäger (a mild German gin), and a touch of Kümmel, a German caraway seed liqueur. “I’ve heard more often than not ‘I’m surprised how much I like it’,” says Erica Christ, the bar manager at the Black Forest Inn. “People who would get a dirty martini really do like that pickley, sour, salty taste…Still we do get about one in five that is like BLECH!”

Make your own pickle-enhanced cocktail using our Martinowitz recipe (pictured).

The Next St-Germain?

At a recent spirits exhibition, I got a peek at a new French liqueur launching soon in the U.S. called Esprit de June. It is similar to St-Germain’s Elderflower liqueur, but instead of being infused with elderflowers, this liqueur is made from from grape blossoms. The result is tropical and floral, but not cloying in any way. It will be good in spring and summer cocktails.

Esprit de June, showing up on shelves any day, around $30-40

Mix ‘n’ Match Neo Hippie Tableware

The Siirtolapuutarha Dinner Plate from Finnish designer Marimekko is meant to look like the inside of a mushroom, and be mixed and matched with the other 60s inspired pieces from the Oiva collection. All the other pieces are different, and depict vegetables, city and garden scenes, and geometric rug-like designs that are reminiscent of Danish modern stuff from arty grandparents’ kitchen cabinets. It’s not goddamn Melamine, either–it’s durable, hand-downable, microwave- and dishwasher-safe ceramic.

This Week’s Crib Sheet

Welcome to the CHOW Crib Sheet, your weekly recap of recent food news and events. Now, a look at our top stories:

Hot News Feed

Farm Party
Twentysomethings in North Carolina spontaneously amass to clear rocks and haul mulch in “Crop Mob,” a farming version of Flash Mob. What, were pillow fights and zombie bar crawls not doin’ it for them? via New York Times

Smart Shoppers
In an experiment at SUNY Buffalo, mothers shopping in a fake grocery store bought less junk food when the prices were jacked up with taxes. When healthy food was discounted, they bought more of it, however they used the savings to buy more junk food. So the idea of subsidizing healthy food isn’t a great idea, apparently, in a world where 10-cent mini peanut butter cups exist. via Grist

Italy Says Ciao to Molecular Gastronomy
Italy’s Ministry of Health announced that many ingredients—a.k.a. “chemical additives”—used in molecular gastronomy such as the Texturas line from Ferran and Albert Adrià would be banned in kitchen use in restaurants until December 2010. Seems they might want to take care of the whole cat-eating thing before worrying about this? via Eater National

USDA’s New Rules for Organic Meat and Milk Sink In
Small farmers and organic advocacy groups are feeling more optimistic about the USDA after it finally stepped up and reformed laws for organic meat and milk last month to include things such as four months of actual pasture time for animals, as opposed to the previously vague and meaningless “access to pasture” requirement. via Los Angeles Times

More Gross Factory Farm Stuff
Pig Business, an important documentary about the mind-bending evils of large-scale pig farming, can’t be released in the U.S. due to legal pressure from its main villain, Smithfield Foods. Watch it on YouTube, or request it from the filmmaker for a private screening. via Grist

A Good Read: Emily Stokes’ Financial Times profile on Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Eating Animals, and disser of the sense of taste, “the crudest of our senses.”

Thread of the Week: Beer geeks diss a Black Book article where the female writer walks into a serious NYC craft beer bar and—shockingly!—isn’t noticed, much less hit on. “No shit lady… Ginger Man isn’t a ’singles’ bar or a fucking NYC Club… It’s a goddamn beer bar…” via BeerAdvocate

Recipe We Want to Make: Bon Appétit’s blood orange upside-down cake, made with crunchy bits of polenta.
