Tzatziki

Tzatziki at this place was fine. The bright and lemony flavour was there but not distinguished. feta cheese was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula. Greek cuisine has influenced the entire Mediterran…

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Tzatziki correctly. The instructor explained why feta cheese is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The herbal and aromatic result when you make it yourself is different. Greek cuisine has influenced the e…

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Tzatziki made with real commitment to dried oregano and technique. The bright and lemony result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before. the sharing table or mezethes is central to Greek social…

I ate Tzatziki at three different restaurants in the same week to compare. The results were illuminating. The use of lemon juice varied significantly — only one got it right. The rich with olive oil profile should be consistent but interpretation differs widely. the sharing table or mezethes is cen…

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Tzatziki. I ordered it with Greek coffee after the meal and the rich with olive oil elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. Kalamata olives in particular became more prominent in a good way. Greek cuisine has influenced …

Tzatziki opened a door into a cuisine I'd previously known almost nothing about. The bright and lemony flavours are unlike anything in my usual rotation and I mean that positively. the sharing table or mezethes is central to Greek social eating. Understanding that context made the dish taste differe…

Tzatziki here was solidly made — bright and lemony without anything to complain about. feta cheese was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have. Greek cuisine has influenced the entire Mediterranean culinary tradition for millennia. The a t…

I spent three months trying every version of Tzatziki I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled dried oregano with genuine knowledge and the cleanly savoury result was noticeably superior. the sharing table or mezethes is central to Greek social eatin…

Some dishes exist to comfort and Tzatziki is absolutely in that category. The cleanly savoury quality works on something almost primal — you feel the warmth of it immediately. lemon juice does work that no substitute can replicate. the sharing table or mezethes is central to Greek social eating. Th…

I've now had Tzatziki prepared traditionally and in a modern interpretation. Both are interesting. The traditional version emphasises feta cheese in the way Greek cuisine has influenced the entire Mediterranean culinary tradition for millennia. The cleanly savoury character is more pronounced and di…
