The 7 best Greek dishes I've tasted while traveling (and how to prepare them at home!)

There is something about Greece that stays with you: the light, the sea, the slow pace of life... and of course the food. On my last trip between Athens, the Cyclades and Thessaloniki, I discovered a cuisine of tradition, fragrance and conviviality. Every dish seemed to tell me a story, and every bite was a little piece of the island to take away.

Today I want to share with you 7 Greek dishes that I have tasted and loved, and I also leave you with recipes to prepare them at home. Because yes, you can take off to Greece -- even if you just turn on the stove.
