Today's post is the result of our culinary experiments during quarantine. The one of March- April. During the first wave of the pandemic. And here we are in the second wave. Let's hope to leave it soon behind as easy as possible. The (perhaps only) good of the whole situation is that we stay in more. And I have more time to post to my beloved blog.  This is one of many recipes that...

    First of all thank you once again for your kind words and messages regarding my previous article. They really mean a lot and give me strength and courage. Also, they motivate me to share with you all the material that is stuck in memory cards and notebooks. This is one of the recipe that had to be shared.  Ok I confess I am obsessed with tahini. In all of its forms....

This is an official comeback and not April’s Fool.  This must have been the longest I ever stayed away from blogging. And beyond the usual reasons (tons of work at the office as well in the household) there were other reasons also: I lost my godmother recently. I was very close to her, she was my second mother. Losing her was extra painful for the whole family. I really miss her a lot...

Chocolate pancakes was the recipe I was wanting to  try out for some time now. I just couldn't find time to make them. I really love rich, long breakfast meals but for my often over-busy family they are just impossible.  But now that the weather got a little bit colder and we are more often willing to cocoon in our home in the weekends, long breakfast is a must. So here comes...

I have a confession to make: I never have cooked chickpeas again. And of course as I kid I really dispised them. And then I tried out falafel when I grew up. And love it. And then tried fava. I adore it. This was the point I started wondering why I was missing out this yumminess all these years.   I decided to start trying out chickpeas recipes as soon as possible. This quite simple...

It's finally this time of the year where the fireplace pics appear all over the social media. We haven't yet used our own fireplace. However I love watching other fireplaces all fired up and toes snuggling in front of them. What about a hot soup in front of the fireplace? Especially one full of colour and aroma ? This post soup gathers some of my favourite ingredients: mushrooms, lime and...

  This Sunday is the Classic Marathon here in Athens. For half of the Athenians it is a day of celebration. For the other half, a day of wining for closed roads. I understand both sides since I was the one wining on Marathon Day for the closed roads up until seven years ago. Up until one year Yiannis decided to participate at the 5km racing. And the next year I decided to join him....

When the weather gets a little bit colder, brunching is one of my favourite (weekend) habits. This is when I search for new recipes... smoothies, eggs, new plates...always open to try something new! This is how this recipe was made. It remains cold, just a quick reminder that it is still autumn. To be honest, every beetroot I tried in the past wasn't that good! I strongly believe that...

One of this season's goals is to avoid tossing any food supplies. I think it's so bad to throw food away when there are people struggling for the basic in life. So I check regularly all expiry dates on our food and as soon as I see something that is ready to expire I see that it gets immediately cooked or baked.  This is the case for the spinach in the lasagna above. I found them...

As promised the anniversary cupcakes /muffins are here !! This year are a lot more nutritious than usual as part of my current baking philosophy! The ingredients are tahini, banana and almond milk. I am so happy they turned out so fluffy and yummy ! I always love to share such recipes with you! During the past week I did a lot of cooking and baking experimentation. Some of my cooking...

Spring is officially here and the weather is screaming spring despite the cold the past couple of days.  I am in a full spring mood! I just want to sleep, stroll into the sunshine and enjoy the good weather! Instead of that we have Penelope's getting down with the flu, having a lot of work at the office (this is a good thing) and a crazy daily schedule! Despite all that, whenever I...

This time I don't know where to start... For starters, I want to share with you some amazing news for my blog: The results are here and my beloved blog won the Editor's Award for Best Baking in this year's Food Blog Awards of Vima Gourmet. I am willing to gather all my experience and thoughts of the competition in a separate post (hopefully soon). I really want to thank everyone you...
