Date Night in Corfu
The beautiful island of Corfu (or Kerkyra) is a popular holiday destination, not only for its fantastic scenery but also its tavernas which serve up traditional Greek dishes. Here we’ve got moussaka, a baked aubergine and lamb dish finished with a rich yogurt and cheese topping. Like much of the cooking in the Mediterranean, the spicing of the dish is subtle and restrained but gives a lovely depth of flavour. We’re serving it here with tzatziki, a refreshing Greek salad and tsigareli - a spicy braised spinach dish unique to Corfu. For dessert, we've got a delicacy known as loukoumades (Greek donuts) soaked in a honey syrup flavoured with orange flowers, allspice and cassia and coated with sesame seeds.

Date night in Corfu - absolutely gorgeous. The moussaka was so delicious
My favourite box so far
Excellent- this is a favourite at Spicery HQ too! Thanks for sharing and happy spicing!
The moussaka and the dessert were both lovely. The sides were not great particularly the spinach which was horrible.
Glad you enjoyed the Moussaka and dessert, we're sorry to hear that you didn't like the spinach- if you ever want specific advice about a recipe we're more than happy to advise!
If you can't travel, you can at least imagine. So off we went to Corfu "Spicery Style" and had ourselves a feast. I oversalted the Tzatziki but the rest was divine and well worth the "Journey".
Looks like a fantastic feast, glad you enjoyed it!
How do you celebrate a 40th wedding anniversary under Lockdown? By cooking a romantic meal together: Date Night in Corfu was a definite winner. Here’s to another 40 yers
Wahey! Congratulations and happy spicing!
First time ever making Moussaka - was so easy and absolutely delicious! Look forward to next month! Ross M
This all looks delicious, a perfect date night! We hope you felt like you'd been transported to the Mediterranean, even if just for the evening... we can't wait to see what you make next!
Bought a spice box for my partner for Christmas and we loved it that much that we renewed the subscription and we’re now on our 5th box! The best date nights with The Spicery!
Ah, so lovely! We are so pleased to hear how much you are enjoying your Spicery date nights!
The heatwave in the UK came at the perfect time for date night in Corfu! Super fresh and tasty although we do prefer bechamel topped moussaka, it was good to try a different type. Dessert was great.
Definitely a meal to be enjoyed in the sunshine! This looks delicious - great job. Those bowls are lovely too!
Brilliant date night, fresh and delicious flavours. Aubergine moussaka made with soya mince and vegan feta for a plant based version. Salad and tzatziki were fresh and flavourful. Donuts with fragrant honey syrup was a great finish. One of the best date night recipes we’ve had from the Spicery.
Yum - great job, Katrina! A meat-free masterclass! We are so pleased to hear how much you loved all of these sunny Mediterranean flavours.
