Traditional Greek culinary preparations focus on roasted chicken and potato dishes. Early methods include roasting drumsticks or thighs with ingredients such as white wine, mustard, honey, lemon, coriander, and thyme, sometimes accompanied by a creamy cheese and coriander dip.

Detailed techniques for a Sunday roasted chicken involve marinating a whole chicken and potatoes with lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. A paste made of lard or vegetable butter, smoked paprika, and oregano is applied to the skin. To ensure proper texture, the dish is baked covered for one hour at 180°C, then uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes to allow the skin to brown. Preparation can be further enhanced by parboiling potatoes in chicken broth, garlic, and oregano to achieve a “crispy exterior and velvety interior.” Using broth, white wine, beer, or orange juice instead of water is recommended to create a concentrated sauce, with a finish of fresh lemon juice to complete the flavor.

Additionally, recipes for a savory, crustless pumpkin pie are highlighted. This dish features orange pumpkin, eggs, yogurt, olive oil, feta cheese, spring onion, and flour. Seasoned with nutmeg, dried mint, salt, and pepper, the mixture is baked at 200°C for approximately 50 minutes, with sesame seeds used as a possible garnish.
