It's Greek Festival time in Phoenix so Friday night I joined my friend David and his sister and brother and a few other friends at the Greekfest sponsored by Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral. David's family has solid Greek roots so they know all the tasty treats (and how to spell them)!
These handsome fellows were in charge of preparing the Saganaki (flaming Greek cheese). Very tasty! We also had Souvlaki topped with Tzatziki and the honey drizzled Loukoumades for dessert. It was all delicious! In addition to all kinds of traditional foods, there were crafts and art works to admire and Greek dancing to enjoy. It was lots of fun.
I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today. I'm visiting a town in the very center of Arizona that is home to some great Arizona wines.
When it comes to those Greek foods I have no idea what you're talking about but I will take your word for how delicious they were. Looks like a fun party!
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of flaming Greek cheeses Sharon.. sounds like a fabulous fun evening.. hope no-one got their eye-brows singed 😀
ReplyDeleteOh how fun! My daughter-in-law and I attended the Greek Festival here just last weekend and the food was so good. I'm afraid I overdid it on the desserts though!
ReplyDeleteThere's a Greek festival here I always seem to miss. Great take on the fire!
ReplyDeleteFlaming cheese!! Yum!
ReplyDeleteI used to love those Greekfests. And I can remember having flaming cheese in a Greek restaurant in Detroit once where the ceiling had soot marks from the spectacles.
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy, Sharon! We have a Greek festival here every summer and apparently they get around 1million people out to attend it - they close down the Danforth which is one of our major streets for the festival.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun event with some great Greek food. Never heard of flaming cheese, sure sounds interesting though.
ReplyDeleteSome energetic Greeks there, perhaps stimulated by some fine Greek spirits.
ReplyDeleteGreek food is so good and healthy. Nice to be able to learn first hand.
ReplyDeleteWow, great fun !
