Market tip: Many Greek cheeses are made with goat's milk or sheep's milk. Kefalotyri is hard and salty; Pecorino Romano is a good substitute. Kasseri is mild and firm; Parmigiano-Reggiano makes a good stand-in. You can find Greek cheeses at specialty foods stores, at Greek markets, and at igourmet.com.
