This is the second dish of my Greek cooking sequel. I am thinking of presenting a trilogy of Greek dishes just like in the movies, like the Lord of the Rings and then I will continue my trip to new, unknown to me food areas. Spanakorizo is a summery dish. You can eat it cold...

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...

Pasta with Shrimps
Today I am at home. We have a big strike because of the measures that government has taken, so as to recover from the economic crisis we are facing. So, there are no buses, trains, no public sector, etc. Also the lady who is watching my child every day cannot come here. My mother, who...

Smothered Chicken Breasts
The past few days that the temperature has fallen to normal levels, I feel alive again. So, I seized the opportunity to create something. Of course do not expect me to reinvent the wheel, but I tried to make something a little bit fuzzier, with a little bit more preparation time. As I told you,...

Risotto with Cantharelles Mushrooms
I know it has been quite a while since my last post. This is because of two reasons. First, I was very busy and I did not have the time to cook that much and post. The second and most important reason is that even these few things I cooked, were not worth mentioning about....

Risotto with Porcini Mushrooms and Raisins
We ate so much meat these past few days, that yesterday I said to my husband, that I would make something completely meatless. He totally agreed because he was sick of meat too. So, I decided to make risotto which is something my child eats too. I had in my fridge dried porcini. Actually, I...
