Just reading through this thread again and it brings back wonderful memories of my time in the Greek restaurant and I've just realised I promised to post a recipe for that wonderful dessert, "Baklava" which I never got around to. I'll do this over the coming days :)

I recently found a link to an ebook produced by a restaurant in Cyprus. It covers most of the recipes we discussed on this topic. It is clearly the Cypriot take on the recipes so there are subtle changes. Some ingredients listed don't have quantities but from this topic you can make educated guesses. I am currently swapping emails with them trying to fill in the blanks.

Ray, the Stifado may well interest you, I am going to try it this weekend.

Jerry, the Afelia dish looks interesting but not the Greek version you were looking for.

Axe,

you can't appreciate how much i appreciate this post. just the bit on the moussaka topping is a real find. i'm happy with an existing moussaka base recipe but even though it uses egg for the topping it's never been just right. this recipe sorts it.

rest of the booklet looks very impressive and going to have to try out quite a few of them. a soulvlaki and i'd of been in heaven

the afelia - for sure i will compare. it's interesting in the introduction that lemon is called for but not present in the recipe. one to ponder.

many thanks
