greek pies

Many food items are wrapped in filo pastry , either in bite-size triangles or in large sheets: kotopita (chicken pie), spanakopita (spinach and cheese pie), hortopita (greens pie), kreatopita (meat pie, using minced meat), kolokythopita (zucchini pie) etc. In general, the Greeks do with filo what the Italians do with pasta; They have countless variations of pitas (savory pies). Apart from the Greek dishes that can be found all over Greece, there are also many regional dishes. North-Western and Central Greece (Epirus, Thessaly and Roumeli/Central Greece) have a strong tradition of filo-based dishes, such as some special regional pitas. Greek cuisine uses seeds and nuts in everything from pastry to main dishes.[15] The list of Greek dishes includes dishes found in all of Greece as well as some regional ones.
