Hey, hey everyone, There are cheeses… and then there is Air Fryer Talagani Cheese. Talagani is quite similar to halloumi. It holds its shape, gets those gorgeous golden edges, and somehow manages to stay soft and slightly creamy (I emphasize the word slightly) inside. Just so you know, the air […]
Helllooo, Greek Cornbread Breakfast Muffins are simple, golden, slightly sweet, and every time I bake them, I’m instantly transported back to my childhood kitchen. My mom used to make cornbread muffins often, especially on weekends. I can still picture her pulling the warm tray out of the oven. The tops […]
Hey, hey my foodies friends, There are dishes that feel like home, no matter where you grew up. And this Greek Style Spaghetti Bolognese is one of them. But in Greek kitchens, this classic comfort food takes on a personality of its own. It’s richer, warmer, and full of Mediterranean […]
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, […]

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 […]
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.
