I was supposed to post this recipe couple of days ago, but a little family crisis prevented me from doing so. When everything will calm down, I will share it with you, because I always value the opinion of a third person. A person, who is detached from the whole incident, usually gives you a...

Flat Beans with Tomato and Olive Oil (Fasolakia Ladera)
I was browsing my recipes and I realized that it has been a long time since I have posted a Greek dish. The reason is because I don’t cook so much Greek meals as International ones. I leave the traditional Greek food to my mother, who cooks for us a few days during the week....
Double Chocolate Tiramisù
As I was saying, Valentine’s Day tends to get very pricy and, between us, all market tries to exploit it as much as possible and in most cases at the expense of the consumers. So, and since many of us will be celebrating with our kids, I am giving you this kids friendly Tiramisù adapted from...

Mushroom Satay
What can I tell you about my New Year’s Eve! It was the most unusual Eve I have ever spent. I sent my son to my parents’ house so as to spend the night and I was at home sick with my husband even sicker, lol. Anyway, the festivities are over and it seems that...
