There’s so much to be said for tasty light desserts that come together in a snap - my premium recipe club The Ikaria Diet is chock-full of them! - but sometimes, I really love a classic, homey chocolate dessert. Something that is comforting, indulgent, and delicious. And while chocolate certainly isn’t a traditional Greek ingredient, that doesn’t mean there aren’t many ways that chocolate is now worked into Greek phyllo pastries, cookies, and cakes!

In the midst of a sweltering Greek summer, there’s only one dish on my mind: the Greek salad, or horiatiki, a classic Greek recipe that leans on a combination of tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, peppers, olives, feta and extra virgin Greek olive oil to create one of the most iconic dishes in the world. It brings together all of the best elements of the Mediterranean, and it’s best paired with a salty seaside and plenty of warm Greek sun.

Tomatoes have been a part of my Greek kitchen for as long as I can remember. In the 1960s, I can recall the pinkish orange tomatoes in white plastic tubs wrapped in clear crinkly plastic that were the standard kind in local New York supermarkets. They didn’t inspire! Jump ahead to 1972: It’s my first visit to Ikaria, and I had avoided tasting tomatoes up until this point, but while on the island, one was forced upon me by a well-meaning aunt. Truth be told, my life has never been the same!

It’s summer in Greece. Imagine you’ve been at the beach, lounging in the sand, sneaking in a few swims, and relaxing, listening only to the sounds of your friends, family, and the sea for the past few hours. And at the end of the day, you find yourself sitting at a seaside Greek taverna, the sun sinking into the sea. The table is full of fresh, delicious seafood - and of course, that means a few Greek recipes for shrimp! The Greek diet and Mediterranean diet both overflow with great shrimp recipes.
