To start off, Dimitri Moshovitis will

Greek Islands. It is quick and easy: the shrimp is seared with olive
oil and mixed with tomato, dill, ouzo, and cream.

egg, and seasoning. It is typically eaten as a snack in Greece. Lauren
DeSantis will show you her baked version and Dimitri will show you how
to fry it. Tune in to see which fits your craving.

perfection.

baked pastry made of layers with chopped nuts and sweetened syrup.
