Whipped Feta Dip & Marinated Feta

Greek Easter is coming...and this year we're doing it at yiayia and papou, and I'm SO EXCITED, we haven't had a big cook up there in years and It's going to be amazing. SO...what to bring? FETA OF COURSE! And let me tell you, @dodoni feta is the BEST feta you'll find. I've been using it for years, as has my mum AND the don (yiayia) so, you know it's good! Both this whipped feta and marinated feta are two simple bring along recipes you can do OR like I said, a little feta gift?! How CUTE! Thank you @dodoni.au for being incredible, AND giving me brownie points with yiayia this easter!
