Lemon Verbena Rack of Lamb
Here’s a dish for those without access to a gas or charcoal grill, perhaps it’s too hot to light up the grill or, you’re living in a part of the world where the season isn’t conducive to some backyard entertaining. The oven still needs some attention and it can still give your family and the […]
Grilled Asparagus With Roasted Peppers & Feta
Post update from July of 2009. The recipe that’s not really a recipe, more the idea of pairing grilled asparagus with roasted peppers and Feta cheese. I’ve updated the photos and I think they sell this meze all on their own. There really isn’t a recipe here, more of a recommendation to try this combo […]
Slow-Roasted Goat With Scalloped Potatoes and Brussel Sprouts
I made this dish last Sunday and if it weren’t for the fact that I’m making Prime Rib today, I’d probably be having this entire meal again. One of the best things about Sunday dinner is that you have lots of time. There’s no real pressure, you can leisurely cook, open a bottle of wine […]
Recipe For a Greek Wedding
In less than two weeks, I’ll be back in Greece again for my vacation. This will be my 20th time and I still get excited about going. I still have some experiences to share from last year’s trip. One of the most cherished memories has to be when I attended a traditional Greek wedding on […]
Roasted Eggplant With Feta
Although alot of Greek cuisine is simple and straight forward, the execution of entertaining with the onslaught of mezedes/appetizers to your guests can create quite the whirlwind in the kitchen. At typical evening with friends and family, one can witness dozens of meze plates being brought to the table through a long evening of eating, […]

Rotisserie Leg of Lamb
I’ve thought carefully on whether to post the recipes from this past Easter in clusters or individually. I’ve chosen the latter for the simple reason of keeping the clarity of recipes in the archives of the blog and to make them easier to search for. You might get a flurry of posts from me in […]
Roast Chicken and Rice
Don’t let the title fool you. The focus of tonight’s dish is rice. I can remember having roast chicken and rice from as early as when I was watching cartoons each morning, there was no remote TV control and children actually played in parks. Fast forward to 2009, people communicate electronically, people are forgetting or […]
Whole Roasted Red Snapper
Before I get on with this visually stimulating and most delicious dish, I must say I’m really liking the feel and look of “Kalofagas Mach II”. It’s cleaner, more organized, revolving header scheme and it’s scalab, meaning that changes, tweaks and updates to the look and function of the blog are easily applied in the […]
Grandma’s Pork & Quince (Κυδώνια-της-Γιαγιάς)
My relatives can be divided into two camps: the father’s side of the family and the mother’s side. The two camps are also geographically divided with all of my dad’s side of the family residing here in Canada and save for two of my mom’s first cousins here in Canada, the rest of her family […]
