Hi Sathya! I am so glad you found my blog! Yes, phyllo dough and pastry is the same thing. You will have to let me know what you think.

Thank you, thank you! I was madly searching for something yummy for my parents who are visiting this weekend. Is phyllo dough, filo pastry? It looks like it…

Hi Valerie! You know I am not sure how I ever discovered that yogurt and mushrooms work so well together, especially paired with a woody herb. But I use it for so many things – sauces and such!
Yes, you can strain your own yogurt, no problem, you will probably have best luck with a full fat variety.

Wow! That is an amazing recipe. That is very clever to incorporate yoghurt in the recipe. I’ve never been able to find greek yoghurt here, can I just strain normal nonfat yoghurt through a cheese cloth?

Yes, it is healthier, and at the same time, I think it tastes better too – something different!

It’s a bit like quiche but you use the yoghurt instead, which I think would be better and healther.

Hi Nirmala! I usually use Athenos, because it is usually the one available in most groceries.

I love mushrooms too. A lot of people use phyllo and so should I. When I don’t have time to make the dough myself, it would be handy to have this around. Any recommendations on brand?

Hi Jeena! Thanks! it is a nice combo for sure!

Thanks Dolores! No I am not even aware of what the focus is of this month’s event. But I may have to check into it.

Hi Patrick! Thank you so very much for your kind words and thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi Jeni! Yes, I always try to have that balance in my cooking – satisfying but healthy. It’s that whole Mediterranean thing.
