This summer, we met Anastasia Miari over Instagram. Anastasia is a Greek-British journalist and author who, like us, is obsessed with food, culture and heritage.

For those who don't know, pastirma (or pastourma) is a highly-seasoned (garlic lovers gather round!), air-dried cured beef with a distinct, exceptional flavor. Like so much of Greek food, it's a dish influenced by the greater region with versions of this pie found in Turkish, Armenian and Middle Eastern cuisines.

Laiik Makes Greek Food: Rizogalo (Rice Pudding)

As we swap out our Greek sandals for something a little warmer, so do we trade light salads for soul-enriching soups and puddings. Top of our Greek dessert list for October is rizogalo, or rice pudding. Velvety, creamy, with a hint of citrus, rizogalo is a warm embrace on a cold, fall day.

Laiik Makes Greek Food: Bifteki Gemista

Bifteki, pronounced beef-tek-ki, is a Greek-style burger, bun-less and perfect for the summer. It's spiced and sometimes includes Feta - which, of course, we did do for our kalo mina recipe. You can grill them on the barbecue or broil them in the oven, which is the more traditional option. Grab your Greek sandals, head to the market for fresh ingredients and come make Greek food with us.
