Greek self catering recipe ideas

Greece’s long and eventful past ensures the country is steeped in history, and its many world famous monuments mean tourism is as vibrant on the mainland as on the islands. From island-hopping beach lovers, to avid archaeologists, Greece caters for them all.

Greek cookery is typically Mediterranean, with the concept behind it simple, yet effective. At its heart is fresh, seasonal produce and meal times are not to be hurried. Greek olive oil is some of the best in the world and widely used; vegetables, fruits and herbs are mostly grown outside; and animals are free-range so the tastes and aromas you'll experience here are second to none.

The following recipes put these delicious ingredients to good use and include typical pork and lamb dishes, a Greek salad and a quick and easy dessert of figs and mascarpone.
