Fall is all about apples and pumpkins isn’t it? From yesterday we officially entered autumn my friends here. Temperatures fell to 20’s C and we had a brief rain too. The weather has cooled down and demand for pumpkin was imperative for me. I needed to make something with pumpkin. Last year I made sweet...

Baby Spinach Salad with Roasted Asparagus and Mushrooms
The other day, I made a very weird discovery. For a person who eats salad everyday seven days a week, I have disproportionately few salad recipes in this site. Why? I have no idea. Perhaps it is because, usually my salads consist of either lettuce or cauliflower and broccoli, olive oil and vinegar. So, not...
Mushrooms Ragú
I made this meal during Holy Week since at that specific period our family abstains from consuming meat. At the beginning, I thought that it wasn’t worth posting about it, as it is was very easy and ordinary, but my husband insisted on it, since he thought it was extremely tasty. So, and from the...
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....
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...
Green Salad with Sun-Dried Tomato Vinaigrette
Have you ever noticed that when one bad thing happens, then a series of other bad things follow? This has happened to me as well. After my father-in-law’s death my mother had a small accident in her knee and now her leg hurts very much. This means that she was and still is unable to...
Olive Bread (Eliopsomo)
First I would like to apologize to all of you for not being able to visit your blogs the last couple of days, as I am a little sick. Sore throat, nose that sneezes and generally all these beautiful and exciting things that come with the common cold. I avoid sitting in front of...

The third and final part contains an award and 7 questions. So, arm yourselves with a little bit of patience and dive into this post. I am...
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)
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...
