Let’s face it, we all have our own takes on popular recipes. And we all have our favorite ways of using ingredients. So we invite you to send us your greek-inspired recipes, whether they are based on greek ingredients, or are variations of traditional recipes, or simply family recipes (if you have photos, they are welcome too, but they are not necessary). We promise to review each one of them here on the blog,  and try as many as we can! Send your recipes, along with any story behind them, to: kerasma@hepo.gr

So, get cooking!

Greeks have a close relationship to bread (“psomi”). A household without its fresh daily loaf of bread is unheard of and there is always more than enough in restaurants, whether they serve Greek or international cuisine. Sometimes you will find bread and pasta on the same table, or bread and rice, bread and potatoes. We just seem to need a little bite of bread with everything.
To celebrate our national obsession and share it with the rest of the world, here are some recipes that make the most of these beloved carbs. The last one, tsoureki, is a sweet bread, a bit like hot cross buns the English have at Easter. We have it all year round with coffee or a glass of milk, or we pack a slice to eat at work. Either way, it is the most comforting slice of bread you are likely to taste.
