Author Notes

Simple recipes let the very few ingredients used shine for themselves.
Making sure you use great quality ingredients is key to great flavour in this greek inspired recipe : fresh thyme, quality honey (fragrant thyme honey, or orange blossom honey would work well, but also your local all flower honey!) will make a difference, and pair amazingly with the sharp salty feta cheese and the crispy filo. Feeling adventurous? Try making your own filo (but make sur you've got a few hours and patience available as it can be tidious and quite technical!). —My Nomad Cuisine
