Slow Cooked Greek Recipes

There’s something special about slow-cooked Greek food.

Maybe it’s the way the sauce slowly thickens over hours on the stove, or how dishes like kokkinisto, soutzoukakia and moussaka somehow taste even better the next day. Growing up, these were the kinds of meals that filled the house with smell long before dinner ever hit the table.

This collection brings together my favourite slow cooked Greek recipes inspired by the meals my Yiayias, mama and family made over the years. From rich tomato-based dishes to comforting oven bakes and hearty family favourites, these are the recipes that were always worth the wait.
