Mushrooms with Egg Noodles
I’ve love mushrooms and pasta, in this instance egg noodles. When I was young my mom used to give me buttered egg noodles and top with grated cheese or crumbled feta. I still eat this is a grown-up. This dish has more adult flavours and you can tweak the ingredients to your liking: go all […]
Seafood Pilaf
This dish was supposed to be served this coming Sunday for a Supper Club (since post-poned due Corona Virus upheavel). Inspired by a seafood pilaf dish I had in Kavala, I’ve made it super easy to make and the dish utilizes a seafood medley: a frozen package of mixed seafood. You could easily make this […]
Recap – Cretan Carnival Supper Club
One of my favourite periods during the year is the Carnival celebrations that occur for six weeks prior to Lent (fast before Easter).

Roast Lamb Shoulder and Potatoes
I love Sunday roasts and for a Greek family, roast lamb is often the meat of choice. Try and choose a local, young lamb and in this instance, a shoulder cut. Shoulder cut (bone in) is an easy and very flavourful part of the lamb. You’ll love this full proof, easy method to roasting lamb. […]

Roasted Tomato Soup with Bulgur
A couple of weeks ago I served this soup at my last Greek Supper Club. A good salad is hard to make in Autumn but I’m all for soups. I came across some sweet, ripe tomatoes at the market and roasted them to concentrate their flavour and get a bit of smoky flavour (which I […]
Fried Artichokes
