When you let feta into your kitchen and cooking, everything tastes better! Greek feta is a great ingredient for preparing Mediterranean diet recipes and is a mainstay in countless specifically Greek recipes. Salty, slightly sour, earthy, and packed in brine, it’s probably my favorite to include in everything from casseroles to salads and even sandwiches – or just on its own, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with oregano!

Soup season is upon us, and fortunately, the Mediterranean diet is packed with so many delicious and simple soup recipes to fit every craving and health need. Yes, that’s right, even warm Mediterranean countries like Greece rely on a hot bowl of soup when the weather starts to turn – and, in fact, soups are crucial to the Greek-Mediterranean diet. In Ikaria, winter rains can last for months, and a good hearty soup is the answer to the cold weather.

When you think about Greek Easter, I’m sure I can guess the first recipe you think of: lamb, right? I don’t blame you! For many, the cliched images of Greek lamb on a spit are conjured along with any conversation about Greece, and maybe during any time of year, but especially in the springtime. While this is now the most popular way to roast lamb, it’s really more of a mainland tradition than an island one; in reality, preparations for lamb abound, and you don’t need a spit to whip up a delicious Greek lamb recipe.

It’s a great time to reset, cleanse, and clarify intentions for the year. It also happens to be a great time to get back to the roots of the Mediterranean diet. Interestingly, some of the most delicious Greek foods are cooked during this time.

Here in Greece, we’re just about to enter into the Lenten season. Greek Orthodox Lent starts with Clean Monday, on February 27th this year, and will last right up until Easter, on Sunday, April 16. For the entire 40 days, those who follow the fast abstain from all animal products and fish but not seafood, which is what I am focusing on today! The strictest practitioners abstain even from olive oil on specific days each week and from alcohol.

Super Bowl Sunday is coming up! And whether you’re an avid sports fan, or you’re staying tuned just for the commercials, or you think of the whole event as a buildup to a Rihanna concert, everyone can agree on one thing: there should always be good food.

What could be more versatile than a potato? Greek potato recipes span the gamut of just about every cooking method. Whether baked, boiled, roasted, pan-seared, air-fried or fried (in EVOO!), there are countless ways to cook and enjoy a potato in the Greek diet. And when combined with great Greek and Mediterranean diet ingredients, they become even more enjoyable. Oregano, lemon, extra virgin Greek olive oil - all of these and more work perfectly in potato recipes.
