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.

Light-Bodied White Wine

We love this recipe! It is easy to prepare and very flavorful...a stand by recipe in my kitchen and so easy when using frozen cod.

We enjoyed this and my man usually does not like fish. However, we did not care for the Greek Green Bean Medley. They were too oily.

This recipe is absolutely delicious! I made it with Cod the first time and we enjoyed it so much, I made it the next night with Haddock. Both were delicious. We really enjoyed it. I made the Greek Green Bean Medley to go with it which was also delicous!
