And so we lived to see this happening: staying at home, fear for something you have not seen but only heard about and terrified to the idea that it will be knocking on your door or (even worse) knowing the door of your beloved ones, especially the ones that are more vulnerable to this thing. First of all, life shows you the hard way that there is worse. For me personally 2019 was one of the...

Oh yes I am still here. I've missing posts (a lot) but still here. This was an lifechanging year for me in so many levels. I lost people I love leaving me with deep scars. Happy changes also happened. And lots of traveling. And grief and anxiety 2019 was a full and busy year. But I do not want to bother you with my bad new. Especially know that everyone is in full speed holiday mood. And...

    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 adore lavender as ingredient in my baking experimentation. Its fine aroma makes you travel in green prairies and spring landscapes. Even in the middle of autumn. While baking this cake, the lavender essence conquers my kitchen and I really love it. The combination with lime and almond is a successful one according to my humble opinion. The result of my new experimentation is an extra...

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...

During the past week it's getting cold here in Athens. I am snuggling as we speak under my living room blanket. This is how cold it is. The blanket for me equals winter.  And don't get me wrong I am not wining. I love winter. And one of the things I like the most about winter is brunching. And having long and cozy breakfast meals during the weekends.  This is how the recipe...

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...
