Mykonos treats the pastry-puff girls to a Greek Odyssey of taste, at home.

Rounding off the starters were the Kolokithokeftedes (fried zucchini patties). This delicacy went down a treat with my two vegetarian guests. They had never tried these magical little zucchini patties served with a cheeky spicy feta cheese dip, so you can imagine their surprise and delight. Now I can’t stop them talking about it.

The main course selection included a full serving of Kotopoulo Souvlaki. The chicken was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy with a hint of smoke from an open flame. I had never tried a dish called Biftekia Yemista (a beef patty stuffed with Kefalotyri cheese and topped with caramelized onions) before and was pleasantly surprised by the comforting Kefalotyri cheese filling combined with the yoghurt sauce. Our mains we completed by Kritharoto Thalassinon, a paella-like dish of Saffron Orzo Pasta with shrimps, muscles and calamari, which my flatmates devoured.

For dessert we took on Galaktoboureko, the night’s showstopper. Picture a delicate and dreamy creme caramel topped off with the cheeky texture of crunchy phyllo pastry. One curious guest sneaked a taste before official dessert time and that was that. She finished dessert before the main meal.

Mykonos at home was a real treat. The portions were generous and could easily have served another two guests. The ingredients, composition, presentation and flavours delighted us all, and while I’m a little bias I admit, the night was memorable for all the right reasons. My love affair with Greek food continues, by Zeus. ✤
