Pork Fricassee
Winter is almost officially here and heartier Greek dishes enter the cooking rotation. Greek cuisine is rustic, humble and usually economical. Enter the Fricassee dishes. Fricassee is traditionally a French dish that’s been Greek-a-fied. The most popular versions are made with lamb and today, pork. There are lots of vegetables like onions/leeks, leafy greens (many […]
Roast Brussels Sprouts With Bacon and Honey
This recipe is for those who love Brussels sprouts. It may be even for those who may want to give them another try. I have always enjoyed them. They are in season, a wonderful Fall dish, affordable and even the frozen ones at the supermarket are of good quality (if you cannot fine fresh). It’s […]
Tomato Salad With Fried Feta
This recipe is a long-awaited update from when I first shared it – back in 2007! I originally plated the salad as shown but I feel the tomatoes are the star and the fried cheese. Salad greens are a garnish and the salad is sharper looking, don’t you think? The other star is the fried […]
Salad With Strawberry Dressing and Feta
Here in Ontario (where I reside), strawberries are at their peak in June/July and I recently went with my niece and nephew to pick our own at a farm. Local strawberries (local anything) is best and I am enjoying the basket I picked myself. I’ve paired strawberries and Feta before but this time I am […]

Purslane is very nutritious and is rich in Vitamin C and alpha linolenic acid (one of the Omega-3 fatty acids).which the body […]
Pan Seared Cod with Vlita Saute
The warm months are finally here, some items in the garden like greens and herbs are already ripe for picking, lot’s of seasonal produce at the local markets looking and tasting good too! When it gets hot, I like some lighter dishes and fish or seafood do the trick. I like fresh cod as it’s […]
Romaine Salad with Fennel, Orange, Kalamata Olives
Greek cuisine is famous for it’s chunky Greek Salad (Horiatiki/Village) – but we’re not making that today. The second most popular Greek salad is the Maroulosalata (Romaine salad with scallions and dill). We’re not making that one either! Greeks love their salads and this one riffs off the more well-know Romaine salad. Rather than dill, […]

One of my favourite periods during the year is the Carnival celebrations that occur for six weeks prior to Lent (fast before Easter). Last weekend’s Greek Supper Club guests transported guests to Crete. From the extra- virgin olive oil and sparkling and still water, to the dishes and bread on the table to the Greek […]
