The History of Feta

FETA is a white, salty, semi-firm cheese. Traditionally it was made from sheep or goat's milk but is now also made with cow's milk. After feta is formed in a special mold, it's sliced into large pieces, salted and soaked in brine. Although feta cheese is mostly associated with Greek cooking, "feta" comes from the Italian word "fette", meaning slice of food.

Its time for our Xmas potluck and for the fourth year in a row I've been asked to bring these delicious appetizers. They're such a hit!

These are easy to make, pretty presentation, and taste delicious. Perfect for theholiday season. I think the filling would make a great cheeseball as well.

This is a huge hit whenever I make it and I get many requests for the recipe so now I always have some copies of the recipe with me when I take it to potlucks. I have substitued cottage cheese for feta on a couple of occasions and everyone still gobbles them up. I probably double the green onions - I like the flavour as well as the extra colour. This is in with the favourites!!!

I love this recipe. In the fall, I make it with sundried tomato tortillas and use diced up dried apricots in place of the cranberry--gives it a nice, harvesty color scheme!

This recipe was a big winner with my family. I will make it again for the holidays.

These didn't taste too cranberry-ish, and were a lovely summer afternoon dish in the backyard. Easy to make and to eat when sitting with friends. Even the guys loved them!

The feta cheese added a great flavour, I suggest using less instead of leaving it out completely. By the way, I also added a little more onions, it made a difference.

This is an excellent appetizer. All my guests loved it and have even asked for the recipe. Even if you don't like cranberries you would love these pinwheels. Easy to make.

I think my family would have liked them better without the feta cheese. sc

I brought a plate of these appetizers to a holiday pot luck at my office a couple of years ago. Everyone liked them, but one co-worker in particular was crazy about them. He and I agreed that the cheese/green onion/dried cranberry mixture would be equally good as a spread for crackers.
