Blueberry Topping
I love blueberries and they often become a topping for cheesecake. I still like the cherry topping but it’s been overdone. Blueberries are the new cherries.
Makalo With Keftedakia
Makalo is a Macedonian gravy. You’ll find in the kitchens of northern Greeks’ home in Florina and Kastoria and I’ve read, as far south as Karditsa in Thessaly.
Makalo is basically a gravy. You have oil, (stock), spices and seasonings. My mom would often add a bit of tomato (that was our family’s twist).
It’s a sauce I remember my parents, aunts and uncles always ate. It’s a gravy made for dipping, poaching eggs or simmering keftedes or chicken.

Grilled Lobster with Red Curry Ouzo Sauce
There are many styles of curries (Indian, Japanese, West Indian) but this one is a thai-style.
