Very intrigued by the recipes you posted! I especially like the sound of the lemon olive oil ouzo cake! And the one with chocolate! The ouzo cakes I’ve made from the Greek church type cookbooks are doctored up cake mixes, but still IMO, delicious. I’ve always thought there’s a dearth of chocolate in Greek pastries and desserts, so am interested in the recipe using chocolate. I’ve been tempted to add mini chocolate chips to baklava before - maybe I’ll experiment a bit this year.

one of the Greek bakeries in Toronto is known for its Tsokolatina layer cake, chocolate covered baklava, and, Nutella filled baklava. Also, chocolate covered tsoureki, which was brought over from Thessaloniki.

I agree, not enough chocolate at the Festivals!
