Kalofagas Greek Christmas Dinner Recap
It seems that these Greek Supper Clubs keep getting better and better! I think it’s a combo of getting more comfortable in the kitchen space we’ve been using of late (Aphrodite Cooks Studio) and I am getting the hang of cooking for large parties – not entertaining at home. I do think that many restaurants […]
Greek Christmas Gift Guide 2012
This year I am jumping in early and joining the other Christmas wish lists out there circulating. If you’re a regular visitor of this site then you are Greek, have Greek friends or family or you just love everything Greek. Below are some gift ideas I have compiled with a little Canadiana mixed in. Some […]
Roast Pork With Sage, Honey & Thyme
Recipe update from December 2007, I’ve switched wild boar for more widely available pork shoulder…a favourite cut of mine as it’s affordable, forgiving and versatile. I’ve lost count of how many pork dishes I’ve made using pork butt. Greeks eat alot of pork these days which wasn’t always the case. Souvlaki and Gyro are most […]
Baked Brie With Roasted Garlic & Cranberry-Mavrodaphne Sauce
One of the surprise hits at Christmas dinner was this baked Brie cheese i paired with cranberry sauce. Brie on its own is always welcome on a cheese plate but when baked it’s even creamier, more of its flavour comes out and it’s great when paired with something savory and something sweet. I’ve always loved […]

Sublime, Sexy Walnut-Stuffed Figs
Traditionally, figs get stuffed with walnuts and are laid out to be served among the array of sweet and savory bites during the Christmas season, which stretches out until Epiphany for the Greeks. In other words….that’s when we take down the Christmas tree. These figs are extraordinary, easy to make and they look fabulous on […]

All-In-One-Pan Squares
All the Christmas baking is done, I have one more recipe to show you but I figure I’d sneak in this super-easy treat that dangerous to make. Anytime a recipe with condensed milk appears in it, beware…you just may double or triple the recipe with all the calories going straight to your hips and ass. […]
Melomakarona (μελομακάρονα)
Greeks like to have an array of sweets, cookies, appetizers out for offering to the revolving door guests during the Christmas holidays. I’ve already shown you Kourabiedes and now you get to see the other standard offering, Melomakarona. I’m sure you can read the ingredients list but here are the flavour tags for this simple […]

I’ve compiled some gifts from stocking-stuffers to more substantive presents and the gifts range in price for all budgets. For starters, why not buy some miniature calendars with Greek recipes? I would certainly like to […]
