  2. I love your savory recipes. The flavor of your Greek family comes through them. The recipes that you share have changed my life. I have lost weight and yet I feel like I eat indulgent meals. So much flavor and yet I lose weight?! Crazy sauce!!!

  3. Looks good but I’ll be making your potato and peas stew today and it will help keep me warm and last until the brutal cold weather is gone in a few days. Merry Christmas!

  4. Awesome and thank you! One question; can this be baked in a regular pan instead of springform? Any drawbacks?

  5. Dimitra this is one SUPERB recipe. I'll make this tomorrow and have a portion each morning with my breakfast eggs. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS.

  6. Great recipe and so easy to make. I also make this but use crinkly black olives and halloumi instead

  7. This is excellent. Refika of Refika's Kitchen makes something similar but I think she also adds halloumi and maybe some other stuff β€” hers is very overloaded.

    I think your "bread" needs za'atar and sumac and maybe preserved lemon paste. But rest assured, it's perfect as is.
