A Taste of Crete

Milk Street Editorial Director J.M. Hirsch travels to Crete to cook with chef Marianna Leivaditaki. Back in the kitchen, we prepare Braised Beef with Dried Figs and Quick-Pickled Cabbage, a hearty dish that highlights the flavors of the Mediterranean. Then, we make Shrimp, Orzo and Zucchini with Ouzo and Mint, cooking the orzo like risotto with a fragrant shrimp broth.
