Basque Cheesecake
Basque cheesecake has become my favourite dessert of late. It’s easy to make and the taste and creamy texture is outsanding.
German Potato Salad
I present this recipe as a means of using up those leftover Easter eggs that have been cracked during Orthodox Easter festivities. However, after trying this German potato salad, you may find yourself making this version all year-round!
Melopita (Honey Pie)
In the western part of the Cyclades islands, you will find the island of Sifnos. I’ve been there twice and one their specialties is Melopita (translated as honey pie). It’s made with ricotta, honey, some vanilla, eggs and baked. By the way…it’s a crustless pie.
Alevropita
One of the regions known for its variety of phyllo pies is Epirus, located in northwestern Greece. Epirotes are also known for making excellent phyllo pies but sometimes life gets in the way and sometimes a quick fix is needed to feed a family/friends/kids,
Enter Alevropita (translated as Flour Pie) that’s quick and assembled less than the time it takes your oven to pre-heat.
Loukoumades me Krema
Loukoumades are very popular with kids and adults alike. You have to try Loukoumades me Krema (custard)…it’s dreamy!
Artichoke Moussaka
This vegetarian version of Moussaka uses artichokes as the “meat”. I’ve updated the recipe to make it easier to prepare without sacrificing any flavour.
Pastourmadopita
Try this easy and delicious phyllo pie with pastourma and cheese filling.
Creamy Scrambled Eggs
Once a week (sometimes twice), for sure as part of my Saturday big breakfast (bacon or sausage and eggs etc) I’ll have eggs as part of a meal.
Amygdalopita (Almond Pie)
A local told me this speaks to the abundance of local almond production on the island.
Biscoff Tiramisu
What do Biscoff cookies taste like? Think brown sugar, warm spices like cinnamon and nutneg.
