Double Baked Stuffed Potatoes
A recipe update here. This recipe was posted back in 2007…the first of my food blog’s existence! The recipe hasn’t changed but I have better, juicier photos to bring home just how tasty these Double (twice baked) Potatoes are. What I have done here is bake a russet potato, scoop out the meat of the […]
Potato Rolls
A couple of weeks ago I posted my recipe for Brioche Buns and I do love them but these Potato Rolls are my favourite. I had them in burgers or from supermarkets but I never got around to making them. If you look around, they are usually made with dried potato flakes, potato flour or […]

Brioche Burger Buns
I am BIG on burgers and like any other sandwich (yes burgers belong to the sandwich realm), you need good bread to make a great burger. These brioche buns are easy to make, taste better than anything I’ve bought at the supermarket and they will make your burgers sing like Bocelli! Brioche Buns (makes approx. […]

It’s easy, not too sweet, a hint of heat from the Jalapenos and the cheddar on top gives almost a crunchy texture. Good with ribs, fried chicken a […]
Baked Okra With Cod
Okra is a vegetable that I have always enjoyed. If you know how to properly prepare them, you get none of that unwanted slime that okra can have a reputation for having. Not these ones! There are plenty of ready to cook frozen okra products out there and my favourite are by Barba Stathis (from […]
Koto-Bacon Souvlaki
Those that have visited Greece will have surely also visited a fast-food counter serving Souvlaki, Gyro, Sausages, Kebabs and Biftekia. Some of these “souvlatzidika” also serve this gem called “Koto-Bacon”. These are bacon-wrapped chicken souvlaki and they are to die-for! These aren’t too hard to make but there are a few things you should pay […]
Baked Sweet Potato With Feta
The weather will warm up and that means more backyard entertaining. Clean up your grills, take out the deck chairs and build up your roster of summer offerings to family and friends. I love a loaded baked potato and I love this offshoot using sweet potatoes. This is a great dish for those with blood […]
Asparagus Gratin
It’s time to focus on vegetables again. Asparagus is back in season and I do love it so. It can be used in soups, steamed, sauteed, grilled, pickled and in this case, baked. Asparagus are a relatively new player on the modern Greek food scene. Asparagus has been cited in ancient times as a panacea […]
