  1. Karithopita ~No-Fat Walnut Cake

    Karithopita ~No-Fat Walnut Cake

    I promise you there will be no weight gain with this delight. Got your attention? Good. If only. But what I can truthfully promise is that your auntie Mary (you know the one I’m talking about, great cook, even better with desserts, has everyone kissing her on both cheeks), will be begging you for this [...]

  2. Taramosalata

    Taramosalata

    My brother, Tony has a love affair with taramasalata. He’s escaped to Thailand at the moment. He’s not a big fan of the chilli so I know he is struggling to chow down chilli Pad Thai every day. I bet he’s missing his taramosalata. No tarama in Thailand, though. Lots of Nam Pla (fermented fish [...]

  3. Raspberry Pops

    Raspberry Pops

    There once was a Greek mythological Nymph called Itha who wanted to get jiggy with the Greek God Zeus. He loved white raspberries (Σµέουρα, Smeoura in Greek). So she went out and picked a bunch for him. She pricked her finger on the thorns. Blood from her finger tainted the white fruit and all raspberries [...]

  4. Psari Plaki (Baked Fish)

    Psari Plaki (Baked Fish)

No boat – that was for sissies. Just him, the bait and the promising potential of the water. Sometimes, [...]

You got time on your side. You are on holidays, after all. And there’s no need to even go near an oven. So, cherry-up [...]

  6. Melomakarona Macaroons

    Melomakarona Macaroons

    I love Melomakarona, the traditional Christmas honey dipped biscuit, and I have been known to frequently, and severely, overdose on macaroons, too. So it only makes sense to festively fuse my two addictions together. Walnuts sprinkled on the macaroon shell and buttercream infused with cinnamon, cloves and honey, this is my Christmas fix. Ingredients 100g [...]

    Greek spuds & eggs

    Πατάτες Με Αυγά Patates Me Avga No matter which side of the earth you walk on, at some point you’ll stumble across the humble fried spud/egg combo. It might be in some fancy-schmancy dig served up for brekkie or shlapped up together somewhere in a late night kitchen. This is my round-the-clock meal – always [...]
