Lobster or Crab Cioppino recipe

Lemony Leek and Mushroom Soup recipe

Delicious! And simple to make in a large batch for appetizers. As made in Thrace, the soft-dough may be spread into a sheet and cut in squares before baking, or each shaped individually into daintly "bastounakia" (little canes or sticks). The word "trifti" identifies the texture - crisp and crumbly in the mouth.

This is my no-fail party recipe... always receives compliments and is devoured every time. I have even memorized the recipe because so many people ask for it at parties!!

This half-soup, half-stew recipe will serve 4 as an appetizer or two as the main course.
