Join writer and editor Rosemary Gretton as she prepares a beautiful salad
The best Greek salad I’ve ever had was when I landed in Agia Galini, a tiny fishing village on the south coast of Crete. Of course, there, it was called horiatiki, which translated means “village,” “rustic” or “country.” And it was pretty simple: chopped tomatoes, green pepper, onions, cucumber, feta, olives. Olive oil and vinegar in plain bottles on the table. Always served with freshly baked bread in a basket. I was 17 and on a European backpacking adventure with a friend, and it was heaven. Read More

Join writer and editor Rosemary Gretton as she walks us through this most delicious summer evening.
This salad is best served on a late summer evening, when tomatoes are at their ripest. Boccincini are nuggets of soft, creamy, fresh mozzarella cheese, about the size of a cherry tomato. In Italian, bocconcini means “small mouthfuls.”
First, head outside to your vegetable garden, smiling as you savour the sight and smell of the warm, ripe Bella Rosa tomatoes, finally come to fruition. Pick four or five large tomatoes right off the vine. Bring them in the house. Wash the tomatoes well, and cut them into thick slices. Place the slices in a glass salad bowl. Read More
