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...

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...

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...

White Chicken Enchiladas
First of all I would like to thank you for your comments on my son’s school. It is true that elementary school here in Greece has become very demanding. I remember when I was a child, we learned how to multiply at the second grade and how divide at the third grade. My son is...

Veal Stew with Mashed Potatoes
As you will notice today there are two types of posts. One involves the usual recipe. The other one regards a visit we did in a ranch in the southern part of Greece and more specifically in Sofiko. But let’s take first thing first. My son goes to the 1st grade of primary school. He...
