Baklava is a popular and iconic Greek dessert that consists of layers of thin phyllo pastry, chopped nuts (often walnuts or pistachios), and a sweet syrup or honey. The layers of phyllo dough are brushed with butter or oil, creating a flaky and crispy texture

when baked. The nuts are typically seasoned with cinnamon before being sandwiched between the layers of phyllo. After baking, the entire pastry is soaked in a sugar syrup, which may include honey, lemon juice, and sometimes a hint of rose or orange blossom water. This results in a sweet and sticky treat with a combination of crunchy and chewy

textures, as well as a rich, nutty flavor. Baklava is often cut into diamond or square-shaped pieces and is a popular dessert for special occasions and celebrations.

Rizogalo is a traditional Greek rice pudding that is both comforting and delicious. It is a creamy dessert made from rice, milk, sugar, and vanilla, and it is often garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. The name "Rizogalo" is derived from the Greek words "rizi," meaning rice, and "gala," meaning milk.

Ingredients: 

● 1 cup Arborio rice or another short-grain rice

● 4 cups whole milk

● 1 cup granulated sugar

● 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

● Ground cinnamon (for garnish)

Recipe:

Rinse the Rice:

● Rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch.

Cook the Rice:

● In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and enough water to cover it. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and

simmer until the rice is partially cooked. Drain any excess water.

Combine Rice and Milk:

● Add the milk to the partially cooked rice and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.

Cook Until Creamy:

● Stir the rice and milk mixture frequently to prevent sticking. Cook until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened, which usually takes about 20-30 minutes.

Add Sugar and Vanilla:

● Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the rice pudding. Continue to cook and stir until the sugar dissolves, and the mixture becomes

creamy.

Cool and Serve:

● Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the Rizogalo cool for a few minutes.

● You can serve the pudding warm or chilled, depending on your preference.

Garnish with Cinnamon:

● Before serving, sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top for added flavor and a traditional touch.

Recipe:

Dry Ingredients:

● Revani typically starts with a mixture of semolina flour, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. The semolina flour gives the cake its characteristic

texture.

Wet Ingredients:

● Eggs, sugar, and yogurt are beaten together until well combined. Some recipes may also include melted butter or olive oil for added richness.

Combining Ingredients:

● The dry ingredients are gradually added to the wet ingredients, creating a thick batter. Some recipes also include citrus zest, like orange or lemon,

for a burst of flavor.

Baking:

● The batter is poured into a prepared baking pan and baked until the cake is golden brown and springs back when touched.

Syrup:

● While the cake is baking, a sugar syrup is prepared by boiling sugar, water, and lemon juice until it slightly thickens. The syrup is often flavored with a

hint of citrus.

Soaking:

● Once the cake is out of the oven, it is immediately soaked with the warm sugar syrup. This step infuses the cake with sweetness and moisture.

Cooling:

● The Revani cake is allowed to cool, and during this time, it absorbs the syrup, creating a moist and flavorful dessert.

Serving:

● Revani is typically cut into squares or diamond-shaped pieces before serving. It can be garnished with nuts or powdered sugar for decoration.
