Spanakopita
UPDATED JULY 2025* Last spring we spent some time in Greece and every day I had a Leek Pie (prasopita). They are so delicious. I was meaning to make Leek Pie for my Taverna Chic Dinner Party but I ended up not getting enough leeks. Happy accident, I cooked them anyways and threw them into…
