21 Greek Recipes

Louise and I are always inspired by Mediterranean flavors, especially the bold, fresh, and sunny spirit of Greek food.

If you’re new to Greek cooking, here are a few tips to keep things simple and authentic:

• Always use good olive oil: it’s the heart of most recipes.
• Don’t be shy with herbs: like oregano, dill, and mint add big flavor with little effort.
• Lemon + garlic = magic: they brighten everything from salads to stews.
• Feta goes with everything (and yes, you can crumble it on soup, too).

Whether you’re looking for quick weeknight dinners, mezze-style sides, or cozy mains, these recipes are easy to make, deeply satisfying, and full of Mediterranean flavor.

They’re the kind of meals we cook at home again and again, and we’re excited to share them with you.

Tzatziki

Serve chilled with warm pita and a sprinkle of fresh dill for the full Greek experience.

Tirokafteri (Spicy Feta Dip)

A spicy feta dip made with roasted peppers, it’s perfect on bread or served with olives.

Hummus

While more Levantine than Greek, hummus is often part of modern Greek spreads, drizzle with olive oil and fresh herbs.

Olive Tapenade

Made with Kalamata olives, garlic, and capers, this briny spread is a salty staple of Greek antipasto boards.

Whipped feta dip

Feta is Greece’s most iconic cheese, and while traditional feta is served in blocks or crumbles, whipped versions like this one are becoming more popular.

Crisp veggies, briny olives, zesty dressings — these salads are bright, fresh, and perfect with grilled mains or as light lunches.
