  1. Asiago Cheese and Kalamata Dip

  2. Greek Baguette Slices with a Sweet Kiss


Book Description

When you walk into Hathaways's Restaurant in Cinnaminson, NJ, just a stone’s throw from downtown Philadelphia, what is most likely to strike you is a sense of family, community and tradition –­ the hallmarks of the Mediterranean way of life. At the center of it all is co-owner and Executive Chef George Kyrtatas. At the startling young age of only 27, America's "Little Greek Chef" has accomplished a surprising amount in a relatively short period of time. At age 20 he was certified as Chef de Cuisine by the American Culinary Federation, perhaps the youngest ever, shortly after he was made Executive Chef of Hathaway’s, and in 2005 he penned his first cookbook My Big Fat Greek Feast.

Recipe from: My Big Fat Greek Feast
by George Kyrtatas
Cookbook Heaven at Recipelink.com

Makes 4 cups

  • 1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled

  • 1/4 cup parsley, chopped fine

  • 1/4 cup kalamata olive, pitted and chopped

  • 1/4 cup pimientos, chopped fine

  • 14 ounces sour cream

  • 6 ounces Asiago Cheese, grated

  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic

  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese

  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Mix first 7 ingredients in a bowl.

  3. Transfer to a bowl or casserole that can go in the oven.

  4. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.

  5. Bake until golden brown on top and mixture starts to bubble.

Note:
This dish is one of my favorite party dishes. I like to prepare this dish and the put it into a fondue. After I put the dip into the fondue I top it with parmesan cheese and a little bread crumbs and with cooking torch, I cook the top a little. Then I pour 1/2 a shot of brandy on top and light it on fire. This gives a great presentation. I also like to serve this with the Mediterranean pita chips, rather than traditional breads or chips.
