Thank you!
My mom would have like the nuts ground more finely in the kourabiedes lol. I chopped them with a knife on the cutting board, so there were chunks of nuts.

The kourabieda looks good, too. A local shop sells them as the Mexican wedding cakes, kind of expensive, but guaranteed to give me Marcel Proust madeleine-like flashbacks to my youth and yia-yia.

The Zucchini and Feta Bake, as well as Eggplant Feta Pie look interesting to me.
Lots of good Sephardic recipes in Claudia Roden’s “Book of Jewish Food”,

I have DK’s Ikaria cookbook, but haven’t cooked from it much. Gifted to my Greek SIL’s and a nephew too. One SIL spent a week or so on Ikaria and loved it. The cookies are adorable! Abruptly switching subjects, do you happen to have a good recipe for the orange flavored Greek sausage? I’ve been toying with making a batch lately.

I don’t have a recipe for loukaniko - I haven’t made it.
I’ll let you know if I make any.
Please let me know when you make it.
I wouldn’t mind a tried tested and true recipe.
Will do! Maybe, now that the pressure’s on, I will actually do it. Stay tuned.

Hmm. I wonder if “bouyiourdi” derives from Chef Boyardee, the way the pastries called sarali derives from Sarah Lee.
No idea
Greek Mil Fay , made with crackers/cookies and instant pudding is the Greek transliteration of the more complicated Mille Feuille.
Bouyourdi existed before Boyardee, so maybe Chef Boyardee is named after baked feta.
Named after a tax document

I’m looking at different giouvetsi recipes re: spices.
My version is typically chicken/ meat, tomato, onion, cinnamon, oregano, bay leaf.
I’m going to try a version with my usual ingredients, with the addition of allspice and nutmeg. Some other recipes include clove and/or cumin.
