Greek Summer

About

Everything you need to bring a real Greek summer to your table. This collection gathers the essential products of the Greek summer table: olives from Kalamata and Halkidiki, pita to tear and share, mezes and spreads to set out without fuss, feta and halloumi for the grill or the board, and pantry staples from across Greece, selected for their authenticity and the way they work together. How to use this collection Greek summer eating is not complicated. It is generous, unhurried, and built around the table. You do not need a full recipe or a long preparation time. A bowl of olives, warm pita, two or three spreads, a piece of feta: that is already a table worth sitting at for two hours. This collection covers every part of the Greek summer table, from the first things you set out when guests arrive to the condiments and pantry items that make the meal feel complete. Browse by what you need, add what feels right, and let the table do the rest.
