Tomato Salad With Samphire and Whipped Feta
When I am in Greece, I like taking walks along the beach and near the beach I frequent in Halkidiki, I discovered a bush growing out of some rocks by the seashore. I later found out this seaside shrub is edible raw when picked in the springtime. After that, the flavour can become pronounced, so […]
Greektown Creamy Feta Dressing
Greeks can be found throughout the world: there are over 10 million living in Greece and about another 10 million in abroad (Europe, Africa, Australia/NZ, Canada/US, South America and Asia). Told ya….Greeks all over the world. In cities where there is a sizeable Greek community, one will also find a Greektown, drawing in Greeks and […]

American Gyro Sliders
Sliders are mini-burgers….smaller and one-two bites and they are gone! Sliders are a popular appetizer for gatherings and this version gets it’s version from the Greek-American Gyro…a minced meat fast food (no comparison to what is served in Greece). When it comes to cooking your sliders, you have options: on a griddle, on the grill […]
Juicy Cheese Burgers
My enjoyment of burgers has evolved. When a young boy, we loved the fast-food chain burgers, we’ve had homeburgers on slice bread from our mom’s, I insisted upon burgers being cooked on the grill and now I’ve come full-circle: the best tasting burgers are cooked on the flat-top or griddle. If you don’t have either, […]
Rotisserie Wings With Apricot BBQ Sauce
I love chicken wings! I first had them in the 80’s when Buffalo Style chicken wings began appearing on menus in the 1980’s. The city of Buffalo is a couple of hours south of Toronto and we’ve embraced the chicken wing! Chicken wings you get at the pub/bar are fried and tossed in a melted […]

Coca Cola Ham Recipe
This recipe is for those looking to do something different, other than roast turkey. Don’t get me wrong, I love roast turkey but I’m keen on having it back to back. A problem I was presented with this past weekend as Canadians celebrated Thanksgiving. Enter ham. Hams are cooked and they come boneless, bone-in, honey […]
