Baked Sweet Potato With Feta
The weather will warm up and that means more backyard entertaining. Clean up your grills, take out the deck chairs and build up your roster of summer offerings to family and friends. I love a loaded baked potato and I love this offshoot using sweet potatoes. This is a great dish for those with blood […]
Lobster Kritharotto
In Greece, a favourite pasta shape is that of kritharaki…our name for orzo. This pasta is usually featured in a baked Giouvestsi or stove-top manestra – both very comforting dishes that still transport me to Yiayia’s cooking. Today, I’m making Kritharotto…a play on risotto. Rather than toast Arborio rice then patiently alternate between stirring and […]
Shrimp Stuffed Peppers
Here’s a fun new appetizer that combines two of my favourite meze: stuffed mini peppers and Shrimp Saganaki. Cheezy mini sweet peppers get stuffed with a cheese/tomato mixture, shrimp also place in the peppers and you end up with a glorious amalgam! Although these sweet mini peppers are now found in most grocery stores, you […]

Greek-Style Spatchcock Chicken
Spatchcocking a chicken simply refers to butterflying it ie. flattening it so that it cooks quicker than if it were in its original state. This method of cooking chicken is more affordable than buying chicken in pieces, it saves you from turning on the oven with the days warming up and it will add another […]
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, […]
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). 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 […]
