CLEVELAND –Phyllo (fillo) dough may be thousands of years old, but Athens Foods is teaching people how to use it in very new ways. The company offers two new tools to help you out in the kitchen, a social networking community and recipe videos: think of it as having access to “personal chefs” 24/7.
The social networking community and forum, http://www.phyllo.com, is an interactive site for phyllo lovers or simply people who have a passion for cooking and baking. The site allows members to:
• Get feedback on their favorite fillo recipes
• Share non-phyllo recipes
• Provide and gather general cooking and baking tips
• Discuss ideas for entertaining and hosting parties
• Chat about other general interests
The recipe videos, featuring Chef Dino Lubbat of Dinotto Ristorante in Chicago, are another new tool from Athens that provides an introduction of how to work with fillo as well as various recipes for appetizers, entrées and desserts. They are available at the YouTube channel PhylloTips, http://www.youtube.com/
• Traditional Greek Spanakopita
• Salmon Phyllo Rolls
• Baklava
• Cherry Ricotta Strudel
• Apple Phyllo Blossoms
The recipes can be used exactly as they are prepared in the videos, or they can be easily adapted with different fillings and ingredients to allow for a variety of recipes using the same techniques. The recipe videos are also available at http://www.athens.com/
In addition to these new tools, Athens also offers additional resources including additional recipes and product information on its Web site at www.athensfoods.com. Athens phyllo products are available in your grocer’s freezer.
