Good things come to those who wait, but sometimes things are too good to wait for. Spanakopita is one of those things. The tricky thing about spanakopita is that the delicious filling is encased in phyllo, and regardless of what type of phyllo you use...you may find yourself phyllo-less when the hankering for spanakopita hits. Have no fear, the answer lies with pasta. Here is a dish that we affectionately refer to as spanakopasta...a bowlful of goodness that tastes so great and so much like spanakopita that you may find yourself making it even when you have a kitchen full of phyllo! (which you can then use to make a baklava 🙂 ) Head on over to the blog for the recipe to spanakopasta, as well as a few variations of spanakopita...and baklava! Have a great, easy Tuesday friends. . . .

Bring on the carbs! We don't know about you, but sometimes nothing satisfies us more than a piece of fresh, delicious 🍞 ...especially when it's our parents' village bread (or horiatiko psomi...that's your Greek lesson for today 🙂 ). This bread 🥖 is especially great for sopping up the sauces in lots of Greek meals, especially those called lathera (food cooked in a delicious olive oil base) Can't wait to share this bread recipe with you soon. Enjoy your Monday guys! Embrace the week and all the good things that we hope come along with it! xoxo. . . . #miakouppa #greekfood #greekcooking #homemade #freshbread #greekrecipes #greek #fbcigers #chatelainemag #huffpostliving #huffposttaste #thekitchn #bhgfood #rslove #hocsupperclub #lifeandthyme #kitchn #cuisinesworld #breadmaking #yahoofood #eattheworld #lefooding #inseasonnow #thehub_food #mypinterest #saveur #bbcgoodfood #eatgoodfeelgood #cookcl

This Friday we are so happy to feature our latest installment of Xenes Kouppes! If you are not familiar with this feature of our website, in a nutshell...xenes is the term Greeks use to refer to anything non-Greek. So, Xenes Kouppes is where we showcase recipes coming from other cultures and cuisines. Today we are so happy to share with you the lovely Nonna Giulia, an Italian grandmother who taught us how to make fresh pasta and the simplest, most amazing meat sauce! What we loved most about spending time with Nonna Giulia (who by the way, we have adopted as OUR Nonna) is that through her cooking we also got to know about her late husband Flavio; they seemed to have been quite an awesome team in the kitchen, and in life. Head on over to our blog to meet Nonna Guilia, to read her story, and of course, to learn how to make a meal that will have your family exclaim "Bravissimo!" . . . Find the recipe <homemade pasta with meat sauce> on miakouppa.com ... also we’ve added some pictures and videos on our Highlights 🥰 . https://miakouppa.com/homemade-pasta-with-meat-sauce/ . . . #miakouppa #xeneskouppes #freshpasta #italianfood #homemade #fbcigers #chatelainemag #huffpostliving #huffposttaste #thekitchn #bhgfood #rslove #hocsupperclub #lifeandthyme #kitchn #cuisinesworld #yahoofood #eattheworld #lefooding #inseasonnow #thehub_food #mypinterest #saveur #bbcgoodfood #eatgoodfeelgood #cookcl

Here's a brief Greek language lesson: spanaki means spinach and rizi means rice. Meld these two words together and you get spanakorizo, which is a delicious, classic meal of spinach and rice. We hated this dish when we were kids, almost as much as we love it now. What were we thinking?! Spanakorizo is a incredibly delicious vegan meal, (perfect for the upcoming Orthodox nativity lent by the way) that is quick, easy and pretty economical. Head on over to our blog for the recipe and some helpful spanakorizo making tips. Have a great Wednesday guys!! . . .

Our parents are from the Messinia region of the Peloponnese...the western-most peninsula of the part of Greece that looks like a hand missing a finger. Most of our recipes, inspiration and stories come from here, and this is where our heart lies in Greece. But, the Peloponnese is rich and varied, and this recipe comes from the middle finger of the region..the Mani peninsula! This combination of potatoes, citrus, and olives may just make the Maniatiki your new favourite potato salad. Head on over to our blog for the recipe! . . .

We had so much fun with our first cooking workshop that we couldn't wait to host another event. This time, we're doing things a little differently and are focusing on baking, just in time for Christmas. We'll be teaching you how to make melomakarona, kourabiethes and koulourakia...traditional Greek Christmas cookies! Of course, if you don't celebrate Christmas...they are still just as delicious, and you should definitely add these to your cookie repertoire! Space is very limited, so if you are interested in learning more about these events, click on the link! We can't wait to bake, eat and spend a few hours with you! So excited!!! . . .
