I first tried Saganaki in Athens, Greece. I have made Saganaki at home in my kitchen. It is really good. My husband and I both enjoy very much and I hope you will try and love it too. This recipe comes from the recipe book "Greek With Gusto" Greek Cuisine = easy & delicious by Nicholas and Julie Roukes
