A Traditional Jewish Greek Recipe from Thessaloniki

Hello!

Today's episode explores just a little the Jewish Greek community, culture and food through the centuries.

OK recommendations of the week: Let’s start with the Cookbook of the Jews of Greece by Stavroulakis, Nicholas which you can find on the internet archive dot org and it has been released in 1986. Lots of useful history, cultural context and recipes with the Shepardic names and english translations too. Link in the show notes:
