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.
Serves 4Char-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 1Vegetarian Moussaka
A lovely vegetarian recipe for one person...or you could make a batch to freeze some.
Serves 4Greek Lamb on the Bone with Aubergines and Rice Pilau
Slow-cooking lamb, as in this recipe, intensifies its flavour and makes for very tender meat. Enjoy this Mediterranean-style dish - a real winner when entertaining.
Serves 4-6Vegetarian Moussaka with Ricotta Topping
Yes, it is possible to make an extremely good Greek-style moussaka without meat, and even non-vegetarians will admit it tastes every bit as good. Serve it with a large bowl of crunchy salad along with some warm pitta bread. Vegetarian ricotta and a p
serves 2 as a starter or part of a tapas selectionCalamares 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 4Greek 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 4-5Baked 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 1Lamb Chops baked with Aubergines
A great midweek supper, with everything cooked together. Lamb and aubergines partner each other beautifully, offering more than a hint of Mediterranean flavour.
Serves 6Hummus Bi Tahini
If you want to make the proper authentic version of this you'll need to hunt out some tahini paste, which is available at supermarkets and health-food shops.
Makes 12Feta, 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.
