## Resource

Today, we look back at one of our favorite episodes with cooking legend Diane Kochilas. She talks the real Greek yogurt, how to make great dishes with stale bread and the magical Greek island of Ikaria. Plus, we explore the art and nostalgia of Jell-O molds; Dan Pashman untangles the legal definition of a sandwich; and we present a fresh new take on Spaghetti Puttanesca. (Originally aired May 10, 2019.) Get the recipe for Spaghetti Puttanesca here . Want more recipes inspired by the Greek isles? Check out our takes on Diane Kochilas' recipes for Tomato Rice with Oregano and Feta and Ikarian Braised Pork with Honey, Orange and Rosemary.
