Hellooo, This was one of my very first recipes I posted when I started out as a Food Blogger. My delicious Crispy Sweet Paprika Fries, which definitely deserve a comeback. The timing couldn’t be better than now, a simple side dish if you are fasting. I was searching through my […]

Hey there foodie friends, Black-Eyed Beans are a staple in Greek cuisine. And not just because they were and are affordable, but because they taste so good!. My mom, aunt, and grandmother often made black‑eyed beans on the stovetop. Simmering the beans with tomatoes, onions, and whatever greens were in […]
Hey there, This Gnocchetti Spinach Mushroom dish feels like it carries a little piece of someone else’s kitchen with it. It was shared with me by my dear Italian friend who lives in Italy. And like all good Italian home cooks, she believes deeply in the magic of simple ingredients. […]
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.

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, […]

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.
