Loukoumades

Chef Sammy
Loukoumades is probably the most popular Greek dessert. They are little balls of dough that are fried and then dipped in honey syrup and topped with crushed walnuts. I remember walking to Kifissia square and watching the dessert shop make Loukoumades in the window and thinking to myself that they had the "coolest" job in the world :)
