Meal Description: George and his wife Julia are excited to welcome you into their home, for a real Greek food experience. He will be sharing recipes that have been around for 200+ years and that have taken him 16 years to research, learn and master. These recipes are what Greek families eat at home and are very hard to find in traditional restaurants, even in Greece! Join them at their dining table to share a home-cooked, traditional Greek meal that may include dishes such as artichokes in lemon and dill sauce with potatoes and vegetables or grilled Greek meatballs, pasta with meat sauce and Greek spices, or grilled fish, or lamb chops or a spinach pie and a green salad or soup. End your meal with yogurt and honey, followed by Greek coffee or a cappuccino. Please indicate if you don’t like a specific food group so you won’t be disappointed!
