Hortosoupa (pr. chor-TOH-sou-pah) or The Bing Bang Vegetable Veloute Soup, as I call it, is a Greek hearty velouté vegetable soup with star shaped pasta, which can be adapted with more vegetables.
Fig preserve called Glyko sykalaki in Greek, (pr. glee-KHO sy-kha-LAH-kee), is one of my favourite fruit preserves. It is perfect to eat alone as a dessert with a few calories or use it in other desserts. In order to make the fig preserve, the figs should not be ripe. Living in Athens it’s not easy …
Kreatosoupa is a Greek soup made with veal and lots of vegetables. I also call this soup clean up your fridge soup, as you can use any or all optional vegetables in the recipe.
Moustokouloura, pronounced Moo-stoh_KOU_lou-ra, are Greek cookies made with either fresh grape juice or petimezi, which is concentrated grape syrup.
