JK: We'll be doing our "Barefoot Contessa's Greek Meal" next weekend using recipes are from her Go Greek program. (But, we will skip the lamb kebabs.) I've purchased some of the ingredients, including the Greek yogurt suggested in the recipe for the Tzatziki: Fage. Sometimes it's difficult here in the rural Midwest to find ingredients that are more common in large cities, but I was happy to find Fage in the health food section of the grocery store.
The recipes call for a total of 20 oz of Feta cheese. I can find (and have used) the crumbled type, but had never noticed solid Feta. A few days ago, I just happened to browse the refrigerated units at the nearby (and locally owned) dairy shop, and was very surprised to see blocks of Feta! I'll purchase that mid-week.
The one ingredient that is New to me is "flaked sea salt." So, I searched the Internets and found this helpful web site: Salt Information. I didn't find this at my local grocery, but I'll try a couple others this week. If I don't find it, I'll use Kosher salt. By the way, I found a few blogs about these recipes that might be useful/interesting: from Annie's Eats, and Lisa is cooking.
