Greek 'Bianco' Fish
This is a simple Greek fish recipe, which is a speciality from Corfu. For a long time, Corfu was under Venetian rule and this dish shows its Italian heritage. Traditionally, Grey Mullet (Kephalos) is used, but Sea Bass (Lavraki) is also very popular and the photo above is with sea bass.
It's a simple and nutritious dish and very popular in the villages here.

Chard (called Seskoula in Greek) is a popular green in Greece and the Mediterranean as a whole. It should be available where you live - it is sometimes also called Silverbeet or Swiss Chard. The beans you use should ideally be fresh - if they are dried, then you'l...

Greek Epitaphios
Today is Good Friday in Greece and the day when Christ's crucifixion and burial are remembered. Perhaps one of the most beautiful hymns sung today is "O Gliki Mou Ear" - you can listen here to a version orchestrated by Vangelis Papathanasiou and performed by actress Irene Pappas. ca-pub-593220225972603513

Greek Cheese Roll (Tirobooreki)
This is an easy recipe for a delicious cheese roll. It has the cheeses anthotiro and feta - ricotta could be a substitute for the anthotiro if you can't get it where you live. The recipe is for 2 rolls, which give you 4 pieces each (see photo). We have put olive oil and sunflower oil together as it would be too 'heavy' if it was just olive oil. Also, just add pepper, but no salt as the...
