I loved this! Must admit I didn't measure anything, but used close to the measurements listed. I didn't have cucumber, green olive or basil, so used more black olives and capers. I topped with herbed feta. This kind of recipe wouldn't have appealed to me before the zaar world tour, but now that I've given it a chance, greek food is amazing! Thanks Sylvie!

Hi, I'm 31 and cooking and living in England. I was born in Germany and that's where I grew up and lived until I came to the UK to go to University in 1998.
I never went back to live in Germany, even though all my family is still there.
