This Greek recipe for a great vegetarian sandwich with braised mushrooms takes its cue from a classic Greek dish called manitaria stifado, or stewed mushrooms. I often serve that over a velvety bed of Greek fava, the classic yellow split-pea puree. Here, I’ve turned the combo into a sandwich befitting of the best that the Mediterranean diet has to ...

I can’t describe to you what a show-stopper this vegan and/or vegetarian Greek recipe for stuffed whole roasted butternut squash is.

This recipe is inspired by the quasi-American culture that once predominated along the coastal towns of the Athenian Riviera, especially fun places like Glyfada, that had some of the best burger and meat joints in greater Athens. It’s my homage to that time, a clearly hybrid dish inspired by the classic Sloppy Joe, christened Yianni! It tastes...Greek-American, with a ...

Taking the idea of a sloppy joe, giving it a Greek flavor palette, and making it a little healthier in the process by replacing half the meat with finely chopped mushrooms, I created this fun recipe. Serve this on nice sourdough buns with a salad on the side, and sip a Greek beer to wash it all down.

Happy International Women’s Day! Commemoration is in order and from my perspective that inevitably means the place of women in the kitchen. There are countless unsung female heroes in professional kitchens throughout Greece, mothers, grandmothers and aunts who help out in their kids’ restaurants, in the family business, or as employees of others, typically there to make all the traditional foods. Of course, there are numerous very well-known and respected women chefs, among them Nena Ismirnoglou, Argyro Barbarigou and Georgiana Hiliadaki, to name but three in Greece.

Unless you really aren't a mushroom fan (and I don't know too many such folks), grilled mushrooms are a classic, easy recipe fit for the holidays and every day.
