After cooked live on IG with my friend Marilita as she connected to me from Greece. Perfect sum up for our Global Food Tour on Greece week 🇬🇷. We made Greek salad and Tzatziki and also she gave me some tips about cutting tomatoes on the mixing bowl so keep the juice in the bowl rather than chop it on the chopped board. This is an authentic recipe that she taught me. It’s so fresh and delicious and a must try.
