Greek food is among the most cherished and delicious of Mediterranean cuisines. It’s also prized for being highly nutritious, with an emphasis on fresh, seasonal produce and deeply-flavored, anti-oxidant rich olive oil. In this class, we’ll celebrate the flavors of Greece as we prepare various sweet and savory dishes, including Stuffed Grape Leaves with Tzatziki Sauce, Traditional Greek Salad, Fresh Pita Bread and the iconic and delectable Baklava.
