Growing up in a Greek home, our kitchen was always filled
with delicious smells. Tomatoes have been a staple in our
home since we can remember. Cooking Greek isn’t
difficult, it’s all about simple fresh ingredients. Cod
is a beautiful fish to cook with, it’s easy to prepare
and has a glorious flavour. Yiayia (Grandma) would cook
something yummy in a baking dish from pastitsio to
moussaka, our cod and Mutti pomodoroau tomatoes will have you feeling like
you’re in Greece.
