Kolokithokeftethes is an delicious appetizer

Kolokithokeftethes or "Zucchini Fritters" -- CLICK on the picture to read Lynn Livanos Athan's recipe.

When in San Francisco, I have enjoyed dining — when my ‘diet’ allows — in a city that appreciates the art and science of cuisne from around the world. If I had to pick my favorite, it continues to be the fabulous Greek restaurant  ‘ Kokkari Estiatoria”.  Here is Kokkari in pictures on Yelp.

I love a restaurant that teaches you something every time you visit… they may not give you their recipes ( who really does?), but they leave you questioning,” hmmm… what is in  that wonder?” One of Kokkari’s delicious appetizers is a ‘zuccini fritter’ called ‘Kolokithokeftethes.’  Lynn Livanos Athan  has a wonderful recipe to start you on your way!

There is a little butcher shop in the Village of Arroyo Grande, California with the grand name of Arroyo Grande Meat Company! If you are drving up the coast of central California it is worth a stop… they even make sandwiches.

I’ve been shopping here when I really need a quality piece of meat and their sausages are superb… or did you already notice that? From making their own corned beef to marinating tri tips ( in beer among other things) there is something for any carnivore. Although I have been coming here for around 30 years or so, there is something I always learn or discover. Yesterday, I asked if he had any rabbit… and he said they always keep a case or two in the back! Outstanding!

new hat
Must be the economy, but the ol boys have gotten into marketing and so I bought myself a hat!

The meat under the hat above is a special marinated tri-tip that I further amend for a wonderful stroganoff.

bon appetite!
