Do you remember couple of posts before the Lemony Chicken in the Pot? This is the second way of cooking lemony chicken in Greek houses. It is a very easy casserole dish; its preparation takes no more than 15 minutes. Its cooking time though is about 2 to 2 ½ hours, but this is not...

Biftekia (Greek Burgers)
I know American burgers have all the fame. I know that when someone speaks about burgers his mind goes to US. This is kind of a staple for the country. Something like croissant for French or Moussaka for Greeks or pasta for Italians. I know all that, but it is always good to approach things...

Homemade Pizza
I love pizza, in fact I could live by eating pizza everyday! Pizza is a very versatile meal and you can add practically anything from vegetables to meats, fish and seafood. It is an easy weekday meal that can be prepared with anything available at home. It is also a company friendly meal. Whenever we...

Brined Pork Steaks with Potato Chips
I am always in the search of easy and tasty recipes. Most of the days I run like crazy, trying to arrange everything. Making dinner is a very time consuming process, I am sure you all know that. There is no such thing as 30 minute meal or 25 minute meal, unless you buy something...

Peas in Tomato Sauce (Arakas Laderos)
This is the third dish of the Greek intervention between my culinary discoveries around the world. All three recipes are dishes we make very often at home and they are tested and true. This one is my son’s favorite and I am very happy for it. You can accompany it with a large piece of...

Spanakorizo (Spinach with Rice)

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...

Sticky Cinnamon Buns
This recipe caught my attention because it included two magic words to me: no knead, very fast. I am truly sorry, but I am a working mother and as much as I wanted to do complicated and sophisticated things, usually I do not have the luxury of time. My daily schedule is so full that,...

Teriyaki Beef Snitsels
I would have missed this post, if it hadn’t been for a last minute idea. I was supposed to post about a very easy sweet, I have been making many times in the past, but my little kitchen elf did something-I have no idea what-and the sweet was a total failure. Then my son gave...
