Rainbow Trout
Regular visitors to my blog will know that I do enjoy seafood or rather, I love seafood and fish. Canada has an abundance of seafood and fish as Canada stretches from the Pacific to the Atlantic, with thousands upon thousands of lakes in between. The other day I went to the market and pulled out […]
Satiated
After a week of having mostly lamb, it’s safe to say I’ve had enough of it (for now). I have one other lamb dish to write about but I’ll save it for later next week. Today’s entry is more about free-form cooking. It’s been awhile since I last had salmon and the fillets at my […]
Is It Summer Yet?
This is the beach where I swim each day when I’m vacationing in Greece. Sandy beaches, bath-warm water and the tranquility I feel when I’m near or in the sea. After the bathers retire to their homes for the evening, another entire different pilgrimage to the waters occurs. It’s that of the fishermen.They will fish […]
Keftedes Stuffed With Cheese (Κεφτέδες-Γεμιστές)
I’d like to thank you all for your well wishes for my mom. She’s doing very well and let’s not over do it. Knee surgery is pretty standard these days (no real complications) and although she’s in some pain, she’s also a woman and she’s milking this opportunity to squeeze out as much pampering as […]
Hunkar Begendi With Beef
When I visited Greece in the past, I’ve taken side-trips to Istanbul (Constantinople). The city to this day is the center of Greek-Orthodoxy and the Patriarchate is situated there. One of the most interesting experiences during my trip there was to try out many of the dishes being offered up by the Turks. Many dishes […]
BBQ Spaghetti
I’m always amazed when parallels, cooking coincidences and similar ingredients arise out of two different, unrelated cuisines. I discovered such a parallel recently after watching a newly introduced series on the Food Network called Down Home With the Neelys. The Neelys run two family businesses in Tennessee and they are famous for their ribs and […]
Zen and The Art of Steak
Slowly but surely the weather is improving day by day. The winter coats are gone and I went out last night wearing just a leather jacket. However, before I went out I did fire up my grill. On order…steak! Look at the sizzle I captured in the photo! Awesome. That’s how good the steak was […]
Grilled Pork Chops With an Onion Marmalade
I enjoyed the whole experience of barbecuing so much the other day I had to go back to the grill and make up for lost winter-time BBQ moments. Today’s grilling subject is pork chops. Pretty run-of-the-mill, eh? Pork chops do not have much flavour, often they end up being dry and one often needs a […]
Not Your Average Souvlaki
One of the goals I have with this blog thing, outlet, mania, passion is to shed light onto what I think is good food and a natural focus on good Greek food. Greek food as I know it at a Greek family’s table or as I’ve experienced in Greece. There is much more to Greek […]
Marinated Top Sirloin
I’ve been spoiled this summer, eating rib eye steaks that I found on sale but my stash of steak is dwindling and I needed to replenish my cache of carcass. I found top sirloin to be on sale this past weekend and as always, I buy a little to test the tenderness & flavour of […]
