The Pappas Post
This is my first post on the new blog Pappas Post. We have an arrangement where I write original California inspired Greek recipes for his monthly food and wine section.
Here is my first post: Greek-Inspired Strawberry Cheesecake
I recently had the pleasure of working on an article for Whole Foods Magazine on Olive Oil and the health benefits of cooking with oil. I currently use Bragg’s Organic Extra Virgin Oil in my recipes and at the cooking school where I teach. Olive oil has been in the media due to the large study UC Davisconducted back in 2012. This article was just published for Whole Foods Magazine and written by Tim Person. Whole Foods Magazine informs and educates the Natural Product Retailers with a monthly magazine. This article appears in their February 2012 issue.
Healthy Fun with Cooking Oil!

Traditional Greek: Voula’s Pumpkin and Almond Phyllo Pie – Kolokithopita
By Mary Papoulias-Platis –
When you feast on that special dish your mother created for the holidays year after year, memories from holiday past dinners begin to flood through your mind as you once remembered your first bite! Well, this pumpkin holiday pie does that for me. My mother’s specialty, her pumpkin phyllo pie which she served at our holiday table year after year was lost from our recipe files! So often I searched for something similar to what I remembered. Finally, I had taken a trip to Corinth, Greece where my mother was from and I was so excited to find the recipe but unfortunately I was unsuccessful in locating it. After several hours of experimenting, I developed the recipe to how I best remember it.
- 1 lb. phyllo dough, defrosted
- 4 cups fresh pumpkin (2 2 1/2 – 3 lb. sugar pumpkins)
- 2 cups sugar (Continue here)
October Unprocessed 2011 – Time for an Oil Change
Visiting Greece for the first time several years ago, I was encouraged to sit down and begin my blog. Being raised in a large Greek community in southern California, my experiences as a first generation American-Greek girl were beyond normal, and definitely memorable. As I became a mother of three, it was then that I realized these stories, recipes, and travels should be documented for our next generation.
During my travels to Greece, I happen to visit my husband’s family island of Kythera. Here, we experienced the olive oil season from the local farmers to the gathering of the olives in potato-sack-like bags, to the hundred year old processing mill in town. That is where I discovered the taste of pure organic extra-virgin olive oil as it finest. It had a clean, buttery, and smooth taste with the warm heat producing that scratchy feeling down your throat as you began to swallow. Heaven. We woke up every day to the smell of the freshly milled olives permeating the morning air on this ancient island. (continue reading … here)

If you just discovered October: Unprocessed, go here to find out more and take the pledge. Don’t worry if you missed the start date! You can start your 30 days today, or simply join in for the rest of the month.
Pulses, the category they fall under, are a great pantry staple, lasting up to six months in an airtight container. They are an inexpensive source of protein, making them a popular bean. In addition to protein they are a great source of fiber, iron, vitamin B and C, calcium — and may help in lowering one’s cholesterol. (continue reading… here)

Can you recommend any Greek cooking classes in the northern California area? I am located in Eureka (5 hours north of San Franisco).
Thanks,
Suzie
Hi Suzie,
I don’t know any in our area but a few sources would be to check with the Slow Food chapter in your area they often have classes. I just attended a Paella class with my chapter. Another would be the Edible Magazine in your area, all about local and they may have a class list for you. Call them directly, a very nice group!Also, check with your farmers market,often times chefs drop by!
Good Luck,
Mary
