Kotopoulo Lemonato (Lemony Chicken)

Many of my Greek friends who follow the blog are asking me why wasn’t I posting Greek recipes. The truth is that I have been eating Greek food my entire life. I just want to explore other countries, other flavors, other types of food. Don’t get me wrong, I do like Greek food and I...

Tsoureki Revisited

Every Easter I like to do two things; firstly to paint red eggs and secondly to make tsoureki. Tsoureki is like challah. During my lifetime I have tasted many tsourekia, some of them were good, some awful and some of them exquisite. It is true that homemade tsoureki is not the same as the store-bought....

Beet root Salad with Yogurt Sauce

A quick and very easy recipe to compensate for the crème caramel which although seems quite difficult, in reality is not as much.
