But I do love Feta, and this recipe looks excellent, not to mention easy to make! I'll have to try it for a potluck sometimes.Avoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12421329030289929378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-7310897492909583752007-09-19T20:23:00.000-07:002007-09-19T20:23:00.000-07:00Oh wow, this has got to be delicious.

I will definitely have to give this a try. the last time i went we stayed with friends who owned a bakery, and we slept above their production area, so i ate huge, warm tyropites for breakfast every morning. There's nothing better!Ellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01724148024027027089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-75763212579952872042007-09-16T13:26:00.000-07:002007-09-16T13:26:00.000-07:00Hi Valli,Thanks for introducing this book by Aglai...Hi Valli,<BR/>Thanks for introducing this book by Aglaia Kremezi and this wonder dish.

The problem with Greece is that there are too many wonderful choices!<BR/>I enjoyed entering the Cookbook Challenge Sara.<BR/>Simona, the pancake itself is quite bland so it needs a strong flavoured cheese to boost the flavour. Manouri from what I understand is a mild citrusy flavoured Greek cheese with the consistency of cheesecake. I have used it to make desserts.If there is another more aged variety then I am definitely mistaken. You would know more about that than I Simona with your expertise. I will go by whatever you say!!!<BR/>Deb ...Donna Kochilas has a cooking school on the island of Ikaria. It sounded exciting but it is only during the summer months because they live in Athens for the rest of the year. She does market tours in Athens when she is there. I wanted the weather to be a little cooler so that is why I opted to go in May. I am glad I did as the cooking school on Kea was a memory of a lifetime!!!Scordalia is delicious as a dip or a spread. They serve it with battered fish in Athens.<BR/>I had a wonderful time Aimee.

I will have to stop by and take a peek.<BR/>Speaking of cookbooks and your travels to Greece, I checked in my book collection and I have just one book on Greece. It is called The Food And Wine of Greece by Diane Kochilas. I have made a few recipes from it but my sticky note is on a recipe that is a favorite of my husbands. "Makedonitiki Skordalia" (Garlic and Potato Puree, from Macedonia) It is quite bland looking in the bowl, but it has a flavor that you do not forget. We love it on slices of baguette. Have you heard of it?winedebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891313852429967357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-23944383091128776802007-09-14T10:05:00.000-07:002007-09-14T10:05:00.000-07:00Sounds delicious.
