Scalloped Roast Lemon Potatoes
Sundays are for gatherings of family and friends. Some more time can be taken in the kitchen to make something a little extra-extra but it doesn’t have to be super-technical either. A couple of summers ago, I came up with the idea of cutting potatoes in slices (like for scalloped potatoes) and roasting them like […]
Carrot Salad With Ouzo Maple Dressing and Feta
Its Autumn and soon winter will come around and it can be a challenge to eat fruits and vegetables. One way to eat your vegetables is in a soup and the other way is to get creative with vegetables that aren’t usually salad ingredients. Enter the carrot, often part of a salad or cooked as […]
Pickled Green Tomatoes
Pickled green tomatoes, fits in perfectly with Greek food philosophy – throw nothing out! In Greek, pickled vegetables are generally called “toursi” so these would be “Prassines Tomates Toursi”. Cooler temperatures have arrived and with the chances of frost hitting gardens, it was time to pick the last of the tomatoes in the garden. If […]
Trahana Soup With Tomato and Feta
As a grown up I love trahana. It nourishing, comforting, easy and quick to prepare is trahana. This ancient Greek ingredient is made by boiling cracked wheat in either milk or yogurt, then drying it in the hot sun. It’s then crumbled and stored in pillow cases for future use. It’s often made in the […]

Artichokes Ala Polita II
A Lenten favourite as artichokes are in season during this period. The “ala Polita” refers to the dish’s origins…Constantinople. I’ve originally posted my Mom’s version which contains a bit of tomato in it but both are similar. This version is more traditional, having the natural lemon sauce. Fresh artichokes are preferential but this dish works wonderfully […]

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 […]
