Greek

For many of us, Greek food is our first taste of the exotic, experienced while backpacking around the Greek islands as a student. If this rings true with you, relive the delights of Greek-style squid and real taramasalata among others.

Feta, Olive and Sun-dried Tomato Scones

These little scones are packed with Mediterranean flavours and are just the thing spread with butter at teatime. Alternatively, enjoy them with soup or other lunchtime foods.

Serves 4-5

Baked Stuffed Cabbage Leaves

This inexpensive dish is a version of the famous Greek dolmades or stuffed vine leaves, given an English twist with minced beef but also true to the Mediterranean with the inclusion of cinnamon, marjoram and rice.

Serves 4

Greek Lamb baked with Lemon and Garlic

Taken from Delia's How to Cheat at Cooking, it's hard to believe how superb this recipe is when it's so, so easy to make. A handful of ingredients are transformed into a real Greek treat!

serves 2 as a starter or part of a tapas selection

Calamares fritos (fried baby squid)

These are so simple – they take seconds to cook and are good served with Tracklements’ Chilli Jam. I buy mine ready-prepared (still frozen from the fish counter at Waitrose) so I can always have a stash in the freezer.

Serves 4

Char-grilled Squid with Chilli Jam

We have a tradition with some close friends that involves always having Easter Sunday lunch at Yetman's restaurant, in Holt in Norfolk, where Alison and Peter Yetman cook and serve my absolute favourite kind of food.

Serves 10-12

Curd Cheesecake with Greek Yoghurt, Honey and Pistachios

Well, the title says it all, and you can imagine what a brilliant combination of flavours and textures this is. It's quite simply one of the best cheesecakes ever, and perfect for parties, as it's quite large. It's also extremely good topped with sum

Serves 2 as a light lunch, or 4 as a starter

Fried Halloumi Cheese with Lime and Caper Vinaigrette

Ideally, this quick and easy storecupboard recipe should be enjoyed outside on a warm day: failing that, it will evoke memories of summer with every bite!

Serves 4, or 6 as a starter

Dolmades (Stuffed Vine Leaves)

You can now buy vine leaves in supermarkets, so this easy vegetarian recipe just got even easier! It will take you to the Greek islands in seconds, filled as it is with all those flavours of the eastern Mediterranean.

Serves 4-6

Aubergines Stuffed with Moussaka

Moussaka with a twist here, as Delia uses minced lamb to stuff aubergines in her own version of a Greek classic.

Serves 2-3

A Very Quick Moussaka

This brilliant moussaka will give your guests the impression that you've been cooking for hours, when in fact - thanks to a raft of ready-made ingredients - all you've done is a quick assembly job.
