Fond memories of my Godmother, Aunt’s at the enormous wood table in the kitchen making dough, and stretching so thin you could read a newspaper, for baklava. Each child was given there own ball to learn the technique, and when you were old enough you graduated to the big table. By the time you were 10 you could make most Greek dishes, perfection came with age.

Food was an event in Greek household, for us. We still make most dishes, but sometimes you want to go out. If it’s not traditional, for us it’s a waste of calories.
