Savor the richness
of Greek culinary fare through this "hands-on" section of the
Utah's Greek-Americans website. While you may have tried Greek
cuisine in a restaurant, now is your opportunity to try baking honey-laced
baklava, flaky cheese-filled
triangles, or cooking aromatic stuffed
grape leaves and souvlakia. To offer
an example of the Greek Orthodox Easter feast tradition, a recipe for
deep red-dyed eggs is also provided.
These easy-to-follow
recipes, which range from appetizers to dessert, are excerpted from Greek
Cooking at Its American Best, a cookbook co-authored by Ellen
Vidalakis Furgis, from Salt Lake City, and D. Eugene Valentine, from Tempe,
Arizona. 
Co-author Ellen Vidalakis Furgis and her daughter Karen demonstrate how to make Greek pastries at the 1989 Living Traditions Festival.
