This is a lovely fragrant cake, typical of Greek cuisine, usually made in winter when orange groves are full of juicy, sweet oranges.

Pumpkin and Greek feta cheese pie
We’ve posted a lot of Greek pies on this blog, all of them wonderful, scrumptious and ideal as comfort food. But the one we’ve got for you today is the one that you’ve been waiting for! (And wondering why it took us so long to post it!)
And even if autumn is to end in a few days, pumpkins are still the season’s favorite ingredient. Combine them with feta cheese and you get one of the finest Greek savory pies!
Stifado ((traditional Greek beef stew with whole onions)
Stifado is one of our most favorite dishes usually served on Sundays or feasts. It’s a very rich dish, intense in flavor, mostly due to the fact that it has quite a lot of onions in it. And we’re not talking about one or two!

In today’s post we introduce you to an easy dish, meaning something that you can make in no time at home after a tough day, but also incredibly delicious and full of Greek flavors.
Imam melitzánes (aubergine dish)
Aubergines (or eggplants) are mainly a summer vegetable but they can still be found in autumn in most parts of Greece. It’s a good occasion to make today one of our favorite aubergine dishes and in the same time say goodbye to a glorious Greek summer!
Froutália. A delicious frittata from Andros.
Andros is one of the biggest islands in the Cyclades. It’s close to the Attica coast, therefore it is a popular weekend destination for the Athenians. A rather attractive island, it owes its charm to the elegant architecture, slightly different from the typical Cycladic one that we see in the other islands.
As every island in the Aegean, Andros boosts its own unique cuisine, of which the most popular dish is Froutália (or Fourtália)
Kayanás or Strapatsáda
When exploring Greek cuisine, eventually you’ll find out that our favorite ingredient is the tomato! Especially in summer we use tomatoes everywhere in almost every dish! But that’s not just by chance. Greek tomatoes in the summer are the best, having been cultivated under the glorious sun, so juicy and with an intense flavor that makes you wish it could last forever!
