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.

Full-Bodied Red Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a full-bodied red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Syrah.

Juicy burgers! Turn burgers with a spatula, but don't press them down. It squeezes out the juices, making them dry.

Awesome! I didn't have asiago cheese so I subbed italian cheese and used provolone slices instead of mozzeralla to top the burgers. Also, used venison burger - you couldn't even tell that it wasn't ground beef!
