First, I want to apologize for the picture. I have to buy a new camera, because the one I have is old and does not zoom as it should. I eat this very often when we go out for dinner. So, I tried to recreate it at home and it was a success. Here in...

Burger Buns
I am on a diet. You know, I keep saying that so as to believe it and try to keep away from temptation. I have to be strong, so as to lose 2 more kilos and then I will be ok. The thing is, that I have a food blog though and I cannot sustain...

Crab-Filled Crescent Wontons
I always try to find nice recipes for appetizers. To be honest, many times, I prefer to eat little somethings than a full course meal. Here in Greece we call them “mezedakia” and I know in Spain they are called “tapas”. I love this because I get to taste different flavors and I am never...

Stuffed Squid
It is Easter Sunday and we ate tons of lamb, kokoretsi (which is basically the lambs’ intestines on the spit) and kontosouvli (which is pieces of pork on the spit). I made these squids three days ago and they were excellent. I totally recommend them to you. I found the recipe on a Greek magazine...

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....
