He loves leafy greens, loves all the variety of cheeses that I've tried in them (manouri, feta, ricotta...) and even likes the phyllo pastry. He just, for whatever unfathomable reason, does not like the combination of ingredients. And it's not just my hortopita -- it's every one he's ever tried.

I am sure that every great cook in Greece has a version of a greens pie. I tried one on Kea as well made by Aglaia with different greens from her garden like fennel, spinach, chard,dandelion greens and arugula (all are availbale here as well)In her book I read about a Cretan Filo dough that is made with coarse sea salt, Valerie Harrison (bellini)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10205920305666658534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011565341528115635.post-87898727398532268972008-12-03T11:17:00.000+02:002008-12-03T11:17:00.000+02:00Wow!
