Authentic Greek Recipes: Greek Epitaphios

Greek Epitaphios

Today is Good Friday in Greece and the day when Christ's crucifixion and burial are remembered. Perhaps one of the most beautiful hymns sung today is "O Gliki Mou Ear" - you can listen here to a version orchestrated by Vangelis Papathanasiou and performed by actress Irene Pappas.

Welcome to our blog! Here you can learn how to prepare delicious, traditional Greek dishes from recipes used in the home by local mothers and grandmothers! A lot of them are well-known and others perhaps not so well-known outside Greece. These are all recipes prepared by my wife Maria - she loves cooking and I love eating, so we make a great team!

We live on the island of Corfu in Greece and Maria comes from a family of chefs. Her recipes combine know-how with the simplicity of local, traditional Greek cooking.

These recipes are all for 4- 6 servings (depending on your appetite!) but if anything is left over it can easily be saved for the next day, which is what we do.

There is a Metric Converter towards the bottom of this sidebar if you need it.

Eat and Enjoy!!
