CUSTARD-FILLED PASTRY (Galaktoboureko) This Luscious CUSTARD-FILLED PASTRY (Galaktoboureko) This luscious, cream-filled fillo dessert is great served warm. Filling: 3 sticks unsalted butter 4 1/2 cups milk 1/2 cup fine semolina flour 6 large eggs 1/2 cup sugar 1 tablespoon grated orange rind 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 1-pound box Athens/Apollo fillo pastry, defrosted and at room temperature 2 cups syrup NOTE: Halve the syrup recipe on page 72 Melt one stick of butter in a large saucepan. Add the milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add the semolina, and cook 6-7 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent lumping. Remove from heat. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, orange rind, and vanilla. Slowly add one cup of the hot semolina-milk mixture to the eggs and stir well and quickly. Return the egg mixture to the saucepan, stirring until smooth and thick. Let stand, covered, for at least 1 hour to cool. Melt remaining 2 sticks butter. Preheat the oven to 3500F, and lightly grease a 9”x 13”x 2 1/2” baking pan with a little melted butter. Unroll the fillo. Brush 8 sheets with melted butter and stack on the bottom of the pan. Pour the custard filling evenly over them. Top with 8 more sheets of fillo, brushing each with butter. Score the galaktoboureko vertically into 4 rows with a sharp knife. Sprinkle with a little water and bake for 1 hour, or until the fillo is golden and the filling set. Remove and cool. Have the syrup ready and cool. Spoon the cool syrup over the hot pastry slowly, allowing it to seep in. Let stand for 30 minutes. Cut into diagonals to form diamonds, and serve warm. Yield: 20-40 pieces, depending on size .

  • Island Hopping Best Value Hotels Programs & Tours
    Greece WITH TURKEY EXTENSIONS Island Hopping Best Value Hotels Programs & Tours 2016 www.gtc.com.gr I was born and raised in Greece, so it is a great privilege that I can show people from around the world my beautiful country. Since I started working in the travel industry my greatest enjoyment is seeing the amazement on the faces of tourists who come to Greece. It is a joy to see their expressions when they admire the famous historical sites, try authentic Greek food and when they talk with the locals. It has been over 25 years since I started as a reservation consultant. At first I worked in a small family run agency, which grew to a much larger business, which was eventually taken over by a multinational company. I've seen many sides of industry, but in returning to a boutique office, where customer service, experience and attention to detail is more important that corporate results, I can truly say I am much happier. It's great to still be able to welcome tourists with the same smile as I did when I started in the industry many years ago. While many are drawn to Greece due to the country's history and the beauty of the Greek Islands, it is the welcoming nature of the Greek people that has tourists returning year after year. Despite the difficulties that Greece has gone through over the last few years it has just made us work even harder to provide a great holiday experience for our clients. When my brother, who now lives in United States, returns home, often bring friends along, it is such a festive environment and continues to reinforce for me how much I love what I do.
