My brother brought me a little box of Hungarian paprika last year. To tell you the truth, I didn’t have the chance to use it as often as I wanted. So, when I saw this recipe for Beef Stroganoff, I thought that it was the right meal for me to finally use some of this...

Polynesian Pork Roast
School has started here and along with this, my everyday suffering as well. Is it my imagination or the boys are –how can I put it in a more gentile manner- more abstract minded than girls? I mean, my son, although he has a brain that works really well, he goofs around and refuses to...
Smoked Salmon Pasta
Today I am going to tell you a little bit about my husband and I will explain also why. I met my husband about 10 years ago in a very difficult period of mine. From the first moment he stood right next to me and helped me overcome the difficulties I was facing. When we...
Yogurt Chicken
I found this recipe many years ago in an online Greek radio station. Back then, I was really intrigued by the usage of yogurt in the end of the cooking procedure and I decided to give this a try. The recipe came from a person called Themis Liveriades. I had no idea who he was...
Chicken with Wild Mushroom Cream Sauce over Pasta
When I started two years ago to blog about my cooking, I never thought that cooking would take me that far. Now, not only do I have to find new recipes to blog about, but I have my home clients, expecting every week different, innovative dishes from me. So, you see what has started as...

Quick Meals Part 1: Mushroom Soup
My husband had a terrible cold the other day. I wanted to do something hearty, warm and comfortable to make him feel better. Did I mention quick? I guess I didn’t. Sorry about that, so I wanted something hearty, warm, comfortable, quick and easy. Now that’s more like it. From the title as you can understand...
Chicken Marbella and a Visit
I always say that this lonely planet, in which we are living, is just a big neighborhood. Recently I discovered Juliana’s blog Simple Recipes (She cooks beautifully, check her out). We started following each other’s blog just like we all do. From a comment she left once, I realized that she would visit Greece. So, after...
Smothered Chicken Breasts
The past few days that the temperature has fallen to normal levels, I feel alive again. So, I seized the opportunity to create something. Of course do not expect me to reinvent the wheel, but I tried to make something a little bit fuzzier, with a little bit more preparation time. As I told you,...
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...
