October 28: Cook Delicious Greek Recipes on Ochi Day in Greece!

Ohi Day, also spelled as Ochi Day, is a national holiday, which commemorates the fact that the Greek Prime Mister Ioannis Metaxas refused to comply with Benito Mussolini's ultimatum, which was issued on October 28th 1940.

Since this time, people in Greece, Cyprus and throughout the world have celebrated this national holiday, and a great way to get involved is to enjoy traditional Greek cooking. Here at Dishfolio, we love classic Greek dishes such as tiganita (deep fried vegetables) and dakos, which is a salad made of bread, tomatoes, feta and oil.

Did you know that Greece consumes more feta cheese than anywhere else in the world, and that it is a staple at Greek dinner tables? If you'd like to celebrate Ochi Day in true Greek style, then why not look up some quick and easy dinner recipes inspired by Greek cuisine?
