Two Intimate Greek Supper Clubs in Astoria, New York
I’m coming to New York to cook two, intimate Greek Supper Clubs on Friday, March 11th and Saturday March 12th. These dinners will take place in Astoria (New York’s Greektown) and I’ll be cooking with the help of my friend, Greek food blogger Carole Malakasis. If you haven’t been to one of my Greek Supper […]
Duck Baklava
The recipe’s inspiration comes from a trip to New York City last year while I was also preparing for some pop-up dinners in New Jersey. On one of my free evenings, I attended a grand tasting of Greek wines hosted by New Wines of Greece. There, I was able to sip on some of Greece’s […]
Recape, A Taste of Corfu
What a night! A sold out crowd of 55 persons that included visitors from Texas, a 4-time Grey Cup champ and Hall of Famer, some regular attendees plus some new faces that helped to make this a fun and memorable evening. It was also a delicious evening with all the dishes “kissed” using Greek extra-virgin olive […]

Recap – XO Fish & Seafood Greek Supper Club
Each summer, the Kalofagas Greek Supper Club dines “XO” (ekso, outdoors), like they do in Greece and the Mediterranean. Last week, another sold out dinner was attended by 50 guests who dined outdoors enjoying fresh fish, seafood and the very best of Greek wine. Special thanks to Selonda Acquaculture of Greece for flying in the […]
Fried Artichokes
It’s Spring and you may have seen artichokes appear in the markets. They may look intimidating but they are not and their great taste makes them worth the effort to clean. Here, I am serving them up as a appetizer, dunked in my easy and always crispy beer batter and these were a hit in […]
Naturally Dyed Easter Eggs
For all of my life, our family has dyed Easter eggs using those packets for sale at the Greek specialty store. Nothing wrong with those packets but curiousity drove me to try dying my Easter eggs using natural ingredients and I must say, the result was a surprising success! I tried making blue and red […]
