Lamb and Pasta Bake with Bean Salad

This layered lamb and pasta pie is like lasagne or moussaka, with Greek yogurt and eggs replacing the béchamel sauce. Butter beans (called giant beans in Greece) in a spiced dressing make a tasty accompaniment or vegetarian main dish

Meze Platter of Three Dips and Crayfish with Cheese

Serve dips with pitta, olives, feta and crudités; slipper lobsters or large shell-on prawns may be substituted for the crayfish

Muscat strawberry and raspberry towers

Summer fruits, layered with jelly that's scented with Muscat wine and rum makes a wonderful dessert that echoes the theme of a set dish

Smoked mackerel rillettes

This easy, rough pâté needs no cooking whatsoever and takes five minutes to prepare. Serve with toast, slice of baguette or a crisp green salad

Chicken, liver, pork and thyme terrine

A layered pork and liver terrine develops a wonderful flavour, allowing you to enjoy its riches over the course of a few days

Spinach and white bean terrine

Set using leaves of gelatine, this delicate three-layered vegetable terrine makes a lovely change from salads, sandwiches or iced soups on a summery day

Custard Pastries & Almond Biscuits

In Greece these pastries are eaten at breakfast, but they also make fabulous desserts. The biscuits, a cross between macaroons and meringue, are perfect with coffee

Baked Stuffed Peppers

The peppers in this dish are filled with orzo, a small rice-shaped pasta, also known as kritharaki or risone, which gives it a lovely texture
