Hello everyone, Certain foods mark the beginning of something meaningful, and for Greeks, Traditional Greek Lagana Bread is one of them. This flatbread is simple; the sesame‑covered flatbread appears once a year, and always on the same day. Clean Monday this year arrives on February 23rd. Lagana isn’t just bread, […]
Hello, 🙂 Ok, so here’s the deal with this recipe: chicken, orzo (small pasta), Greek food boom! If you have both ingredients at home, then go ahead and start cooking. This Greek Chicken and Orzo Giouvetsi is one of those dishes that is comforting. This version is lighter and super […]
Hey there, I was seriously struggling to come up with a title for these delicious little treats, so I finally gave up. Valentine’s Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Tubes was the best I could do. I know, I know it’s not glamorous,… but it’s so accurate. (They are way too large to […]
Hello everyone, This Greek Spanakorizo (Spinach – Rice) is a recipe that I post at least once a year. Since we’ve all eaten so much over the holidays, most of us are now most likely eating a bit healthier. And honestly, Spanakorizo could not come at a better time, a […]
Hey foodie friends, Salads are eaten in Greece all year round, and in my home. Each season has its own special salad that we add to the table. Here’s an example: This Easy Orzo and Tuna Salad. Simple and so delicious! Orzo (or kritharaki, as we call it in Greek) […]

Hiii!, I was craving something with coconut in it. I was tired of the syrupy traditional Greek cakes and cookies that we had over the holidays. As I was searching for something in my pantry, I found coconut flakes. I had some coconut flakes leftover from some cookies I had […]
Hello there, If there’s one Greek dish that never fails to disappear first at the table, it’s spanakopita. That crispy phyllo, the creamy feta, the spinach, the herbs… And while I will never say no to a proper slice of spanakopita, sometimes you want all those flavors without the rolling […]
Hello everyone, Potatoes, can you name a few potato recipes? There are so many, so I am going to add one more. 🙂 Do you like potatoes? Yes, No? Well, it doesn’t matter. I am still going to share these Rustic Potatoes & Bacon Bites with you anyway. Ingredients that […]
Hello again, There’s something incredibly comforting about recipes that come from the mountains. The kind of food that feels humble, nourishing, and made to warm you from the inside out. This Greek Leek Pie (Prasopita) comes straight from Pelion, a region known for its stunning landscapes and stone-built villages. This […]
I’m so glad you’re here. I’m the creator of Foodzesty, a Greek food blog filled with easy, flavorful recipes that bring the warmth of a Mediterranean kitchen straight to yours.I'm a Greek home cook, a podcaster, an English tutor to students around the world, and yes... I have also studied Law (which means I can argue why feta belongs in everything). But these days, you’re more likely to find me in the kitchen usually with a spoon in one hand and one of my two basset hounds stealing crumbs behind me.
